The New River Community College Center for Teaching, Learning and Professional Development (CTLPD) mission aligns with the institutional mission to give everyone the opportunity to learn and develop the right skills so lives and communities are strengthened. Additionally, it supports the college’s goals to ensure that teaching and learning remain the institution’s focus and to continue to plan for the college’s future development, to achieve the highest possible quality in the college’s programs and services while meeting all mandated requirements, and to provide outstanding customer service to all; and to provide progressive management and support of the college’s human resources while recognizing that people are the college’s most important resource.
The overarching purpose of the CTLPD is to connect faculty and staff with each other to support teaching, scholarship, and professional growth and to provide resources, workshops, and programming on topics relevant to teaching and learning and based on faculty and staff needs.
