Reinert Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning

The Paul C. Reinert, S.J. Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning is Saint Louis University’s teaching center. We serve all SLU faculty members, graduate students, academic leaders, and others who design and facilitate formal learning experiences for SLU students. We provide instructional and curriculum development programs and services, for individual instructors and for academic programs and departments. Educational development is a specialized evidence-based field.  For more information about the kind of work we do, find out here.

Vision

The Reinert Center envisions Saint Louis University as a transformative learning community where all teachers and learners have access to meaningful, equitable, and engaging learning experiences.

Mission

The mission of the Reinert Center is to develop, encourage, and sustain Saint Louis University faculty, graduate students, and academic units as they create meaningful, inclusive learning experiences that serve the intellectual, spiritual, and socio-cultural needs of all learners. 

To fulfill this mission, the Center:

  • Partners with academic units as they seek to (re)design curricula and promote evidence-based practices in the context of Jesuit educational traditions
  • Fosters communities of scholars across all career stages
  • Provides leadership on educational initiatives at the University
  • Promotes effective and accessible design for physical and virtual learning spaces
  • Advances Ignatian, reflective, and evidence-based approaches to teaching, curriculum design, and the integration of technology into teaching
