Welcome to the Center for the Advancement of Teaching (CAT)

The mission of CAT is to cultivate and sustain a university culture that values and engages in inclusive teaching practices to promote intellectual and personal growth. CAT supports the University’s commitment to teaching excellence through partnerships, interpersonal relationships, and programming that are built on trust, evidence-based practices, and ongoing critical reflection. 

Whether new to teaching or rethinking your approach, the Foundations of Teaching Pathway, is a new, intentionally curated and self-paced learning experience for FIU faculty.
