Compendium for Teaching Excellence

The Compendium for Teaching Excellence (CTE) provides resources to enable faculty to become exceptional instructors. Whether you are a new instructor seeking insight into teaching the case method, a veteran instructor who wants a new perspective on classroom presentation or grading strategies, a ladder faculty member looking to improve teaching evaluations, or an old hand developing a new course, CTE offers a range of resources to help you improve as an instructor and elevate learning for Haas students.

The Compendium holds a wide-ranging collection of curated materials for teaching excellence from many sources, including experienced and award-winning Haas faculty members. These include:
