Established in July 2011, Xi'an Jiaotong University's Center for Teaching and Learning Development (CTLD) operates as an independent unit directly under the university's administration. The center has earned significant recognition for its contributions to pedagogical advancement. In 2012, it was honored as a Provincial Model Center for Teaching and Learning Development (Shaanxi Province) and a National Model Center. In 2015, the CTLD further cemented its leadership role by spearheading the establishment of the "Northwest China University Teaching and Learning Development Center Alliance", an academic coalition dedicated to advancing teacher professional development across the region.

The CTLD's core mission revolves around four key functions: pedagogical training, teaching research, evaluation and consultation, and knowledge dissemination. Its primary activities include:

• Designing and delivering teacher training programs to enhance instructional competencies.

• Conducting teaching reform research to address complex pedagogical challenges.

• Organizing teaching seminars, workshops, and competitions to foster a culture of teaching excellence.

• Providing teaching evaluations and personalized consultations to support faculty growth.

• Facilitating inter-institutional collaboration to share best practices and promote innovation in higher education.

A hallmark achievement of the CTLD is its Five-Stage Progressive System for Teaching Competency Development, a framework lauded for its impact on faculty growth. In 2017, the Higher Education Association of China recognized the system as an Outstanding Teaching Reform Case. The following year, it received the National Higher Education Teaching Achievement Award (Second Class), one of China's most prestigious honors in this field.
