The book blends scholarship and personal narratives to explore the career trajectories of the professionals who work at CTLs (Centers for Teaching &amp; Learning). How do academics move into these careers? And what can these careers look like over time?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Leslie Cramblet Alvarez is assistant vice provost and director of the Office of Teaching and Learning at the University of Denver. Chris Hakala is director for the Center for Excellence in Teaching, Learning, and Scholarship and professor of psychology at Springfield College.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">I wanted to talk with Chris and Leslie about what they discovered while writing their book. I also wanted to know what advice they had for navigating educational development careers here in the U.S. in 2025, with higher education under attack from the federal government, a looming demographic cliff affecting enrollment and tuition, and a budget situation that for more institutions is not rosy. Leslie and Chris offer advice for faculty considering a move into a faculty development role, as well as for those of us current working at CTLs trying to plan our careers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Net tuition rises at colleges, but costs are far below their peaks\u00a0&#8212; from highereddive.com by Ben Unglesbee The prices students and their families paid after aid at four-year public colleges and private nonprofits ticked up in 2025-26, per College Board estimates.
