Transformative teaching as a catalyst for lifelong learning.
Since 1992 the Searle Center’s mission has been to advance learning.
We are committed to deepening reflective, evidence-informed, and innovative pedagogical practices; bolstering student success and instructor vitality; and stimulating assessment to drive substantive course and curricular change. Aligned with the University priority of delivering an outstanding educational experience, we lead initiatives to enhance teaching and learning so all students can thrive at Northwestern. We partner to build a robust educational development infrastructure and expand capacity for strategic institutional change.
Connect with students, faculty, and staff around shared values and questions related to peaceful survival and thriving in an unavoidably chaotic world. Experience peaceful, secular practices that can help you thrive in the most challenging circumstances.
Drawing from field experiments and psychological theory, social psychologist and Northwestern professor Mesmin Destin offers insights into how educators can foster environments that embrace students' backgrounds to support their persistence and well-being.
Engage in interactive sessions and Learning Labs on timely topics, individualized consultations to explore practical teaching strategies, and a featured presentation on understanding and amplifying student motivation.
