Supporting HBS Faculty in Teaching with the Case Method: 20 Years of the Christensen Center for Teaching and Learning

3 days 19 hours ago
The C. Roland Christensen Center for Teaching and Learning (CCTL) opened its doors 20 years ago, with the mission to promote and support teaching excellence and innovation. "CCTL provides the insights, the best practices, the coaching, the consultation, the teaching material development, the design, in order to empower and equip each and every one of us faculty members, in order to give learners a transformative experience." (Professor Tsedal Neeley, CCTL faculty chair) We talked with the center’s director, Senior Lecturer Willis Emmons, about its history, how it’s evolved (and how it’s stayed the same), and what the future might hold.
