The Center for Teaching, Learning, and Leadership (CTLL) provides campus-wide professional learning and development (PL&D) that aligns with College’s strategic plan.  The CTLL curriculum is also rooted in the College’s Core Values of excellence, teamwork, integrity, and diversity & inclusion.  The professional learning and development offered through the CTLL also helps to brand Atlanta Technical College as a “Learning Organization.”  The curriculum is divided into five pillars:  Teaching 101, Excellence in Service, Tech Tools, Cultural Sensitivity, and Leadership for Leaders.

The award competition begins early in the year. Technical colleges across Georgia identify their most talented instructors and nominate them for the award based on innovative instruction, educational achievement and college and community leadership. To become the state Rick Perkins Award winner, nominees go through three phases of selection: (1) at the college level through the Screening Committee; (2) at the regional level through the Selection Committee, and (3) at the state level competition.
