  1. CIRTL Impact on the Nation University of Michigan Unity College University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Ain Shams Univ., Cairo Saint Lawrence University Madison Area Tech College Lawrence University Carleton College U.S.G.S UW - Madison Purdue University Tufts University Gillette College

  2. Strategy: Leveraging the System Undergraduate Education Masters University Comprehensive University Liberal Arts Research University 2-yr College 80% Ph.D.’s 100 Research Universities

  3. The Core Ideas of CIRTL • Teaching-as-Research • STEM Professor as Change Agent • Hypothesize, experiment, observe, analyze, improve • Self-sustained improvement of STEM education • Learning Community • Support growth in teaching and learning • Graduate student, post-doc, faculty community • Foundation for institutional and national change • Learning-through-Diversity • Excellence and diversity are necessarily intertwined • All students bring an array of experiences and skills • Learning of all students is enhanced if all engaged

  4. A Bit of CIRTL History • NSF funds CIRTL ($10M; • Michigan State, Penn State, Wisconsin) • 2003 CIRTL opens prototype • learning community at UW

  5. 1200 1000 800 600 400 200 0 Graduate Students Faculty Post-docs Staff Graduate Student Demand more than 1300 future faculty Delta Participation Summer 2003 – Summer 2010

  6. A Bit of CIRTL History • NSF funds CIRTL • 2003 Delta Program opens • 2005 FAST Program at MSU FAST Fellowship Program (Future Academic Scholars in Teaching) A mentored Teach-as-Research program

  7. A Bit of CIRTL History • NSF funds CIRTL • 2003 Delta Program opens • 2005 FAST Program at MSU • 2007 NSF funds CIRTL Network ($5M)

  8. Cross-Network Learning Community CIRTL Capstone Seminar: Assessing Student Learning

  9. A Bit of CIRTL History • 2003 NSF funds CIRTL • 2003 Delta Program opens as prototype • 2005 FAST Program at MSU • 2007 NSF funds CIRTL Network • 2010 Growth Plan for CIRTL Network • 2011Recruitment for Expansion • 2012 NSF Proposal CIRTL for the Nation

  10. The Next Step The CIRTL Network - 2012 Teaching-as-Research Learning-through-Diversity Learning Community

  11. The CIRTL Network – Why? No single university can develop the future STEM faculty … but 100 universities can. No single university can know or prepare their students for the diversity of teaching needs across the nation. A learning community of universities can reap the benefits of collective experience, collaborative initiatives, and shared resources.

  12. The CIRTL Network – Why? • Advantages for member universities: • NSF proposal to establish local CIRTL programs • Diverse Cross-Network programs for grad students • and post-docs • Access to developed program resources, evaluation • instruments, and active community of peers • National dissemination channel for local successes • Leverage to enhance research funding proposals • National presence as leader in graduate education

  13. The Next Step The CIRTL Network - 2012 • Process for Expansion: • March 14, 2011 Application process opens • April 15 Video/telecon for Q&A • April 22 Letter of Intent deadline • May 20 Video/telecon for Q&A • May 27 Application deadline • Summer, 2011 Selection of new partners • October, 2011 CIRTL Network Meeting • Madison, WI
