Why do we need the CLC?

CLC is an ideal environment to develop essential skills and foster a culture of
collaboration and teamwork.

Additionally, it can be a valuable tool for staff recruiting, training, and retention, as it provides teachers with a dynamic space for professional development and collaboration. Teachers can work collaboratively on curriculum development, lesson planning, and assessment strategies.

Research shows that educational experiences that are active, social, contextual, engaging,
and student-owned lead to deeper learning.

The benefits of Collaborative Learning include:

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.
Preparation for real-life social and employment situations.
Improved social skills such as teamwork, leadership, and conflict resolution
