CIRTL at Iowa
The Center for the Integration of Teaching, Research & Learning helps graduate students and post-doctoral scholars learn effective teaching practice by focusing on three core ideas:
- Teaching as Research
- Learning Through Diversity
- Learning Communities
CIRTL was established in 2003 with support from the National Science Foundation . It’s mission is to enhance excellence in undergraduate education through the development of a national faculty committed to implementing and advancing effective teaching practices for diverse learners as part of successful and varied professional careers. The UI is among 38 current member institutions throughout the US and Canada. CIRTL at UI is open to graduate students and post-docs from any academic discipline who want to improve their teaching, promote inclusive teaching, assess student progress, and use their research skills to advance their teaching practice.
