Abstract Center for Teaching Excellence has been committed to supporting, improving and strengthening the teaching and learning in University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign since its establishment in 1964. Its activities can mainly be divided into two major parts: teaching development, measurement and evaluation. The Center provides many forms of service for faculty, academic organizations and teaching assistants such as teaching certificate programs, seminars and workshops, consulting service and faculty and staff technology training teams. Its remarkable development under great pressure is attributed to helping teachers to get rid of separation between teaching and research by encouraging them to conduct research on teaching, designating the content about teaching at college in the form of course and developing systems for teaching evaluation.
