Introduction
A Center for Holistic Teaching-Learning (CHTL) is an integral part of an academic institution, designed to foster a comprehensive and inclusive approach to education. Unlike traditional teaching models that primarily focus on academic instruction, a holistic center emphasizes the development of the whole individual—intellectually, emotionally, socially, and ethically.
At the core of the CHTL is the belief that education is not merely about transferring knowledge but about cultivating skills, values, and attitudes that prepare learners for life. The center acts as a hub for innovative teaching methodologies, interdisciplinary learning, and personalized student engagement. By integrating elements such as experiential learning, collaborative projects, mindfulness, and social responsibility, it creates an environment that nurtures curiosity, creativity, and a love for lifelong learning.
The CHTL supports both educators and students by providing resources such as professional development workshops, technology integration tools, and mentoring programs. It also promotes active learning through state-of-the-art facilities, flexible curriculum designs, and opportunities for real-world application of knowledge.
