  • Launched in 2008 to meet strategic goals in strengthening teaching programs
  • Guiding principle: “Teaching is Job One”

Mission: Provide the resources, programs & leadership that support the highest quality of professionalism & instruction within the various educational missions of the college.

Participation: Built around voluntary & committed participation of core members, with individual sessions open to all faculty & staff. Goal: Ongoing professional development toward mastery, as opposed to recognition or exclusion. Participants point to the program as particularly useful in improving their teaching methods, materials or communication; their ability to assess students; and the learning environment in their classroom. The program has been highlighted in recruitment of new faculty members and is gaining attention as a model for other institutions.   

November 2015: Master Teacher Program awarded the UT Gamma Sigma Delta chapter's Team Award for its outstanding contribution to teaching in agriculture and related disciplines.
