Why do we need the CLC?

The CLC is an advanced development that will help to enhance essential skills and foster a collaborative and team-oriented culture.

Additionally, it is an invaluable resource for staff recruitment, training, and retention, providing educators with a dynamic space for professional growth and collaboration. Teachers can jointly develop curricula, plan lessons, and devise assessment techniques in this environment.

Studies indicate that educational experiences characterized by active participation, social interaction, contextual relevance, high engagement, and student ownership lead to more profound learning.

Development of higher-level thinking, oral communication, self-management, and leadership skills.
Promotion of student-faculty interaction
Increase in student and staff retention, self-esteem, motivation, and responsibility

Exposure to and an increase in understanding of diverse perspectives.
