Center for Teaching Excellence
About Us
The Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE) of West Visayas State University serves as a hub for professional development, educational innovation, and institutional collaboration. Established in 2009, CTE has grown into an academic unit that addresses the growing need for quality and continuous professional learning among educators and other professionals within WVSU and other institutions across the region.
Furthermore, in view of their commitment to strengthening educational practices, CTE actively collaborates with other academic institutions, government agencies, and professional organizations at the regional, national, and international levels.
Currently, CTE is accredited by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) as an official Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Provider for Professional Teachers. Soon, the Center aims to apply for accreditation as a CPD provider for Librarians, Nurses, Doctors, Foresters, Dentists, and other programs with licensure examinations that are offered within the WVSU System.
