Mission of the Teaching & Learning Committee

The Teaching and Learning Committee (formerly the Committee on Instruction) has been established to help Missouri Southern fulfill its mission as a teaching institution; that is, to assist "a faculty and staff [who] emphasize quality teaching and learning as the most important attributes of the College..." To this end, the duties of the Committee include:

• facilitating arrangements for seminars and workshops, to be presented by MSSC faculty and experts from off campus, on the content and methods of college teaching;

• serving as a resource bureau to help individual faculty improve the quality of their teaching, and especially to help new instructors find assistance and support for particular instructional problems;

• bringing to the attention of the Faculty Senate, the Academic Policies Committee, and other appropriate college offices any matters pertaining to teaching and learning that require an institution-wide response.
