The world has changed dramatically since 1845. Yet one university commitment remains constant: to educate students for worldwide leadership and service. The Academy for Teaching and Learning fosters the transformational education of students through the development of Baylor teachers. When faculty teach, they nurture, motivate, inspire, guide, and mentor students. Investing in quality, caring teaching not only enables students to achieve academic success, it also inspires students to onward go toward lives of leadership and service around the globe.
