What Is CNDLS?

CNDLS is the Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship, a collaborative partnership of several major groups at Georgetown University that support the integration of teaching, learning and technology as an institutional focus. As a graduate student, much of your professional training is provided by a principal advisor and other faculty in your department. Through its graduate student programs and services, CNDLS works to complement the traditional base of departmental advising with specific preparation of graduate students for university faculty positions and related teaching careers. One of the most important goals of CNDLS is to facilitate the professional development of faculty and graduate students by providing workshops, seminars and other resources designed to encourage:

• a student-centered approach to pedagogy
• self-reflective assessment of teaching
• implementation of creative, innovative and effective classroom strategies.
