The literature on teaching centers and faculty development increasingly recognizes teaching centers are well-positioned to support institutional effectiveness activities. There is critical importance in collaborating with educators to establish topics of engagement, positioning, and partnership including the importance of stakeholder buy-in, which can be enhanced or promoted by the inclusion of stakeholders' voices in center planning and decision-making. Many teaching and learning centers historically focused on "faculty" as primary stakeholders, but welcoming, seeking out, and embracing a diversity of thoughts, perspectives, and ideas in voices represented by adopting a widely inclusive definition of "educator" is vital to a successful teaching center establishment. This case study shares the intentional design of educator listening activities for center development. [For the full proceedings, see ED631897.]
