Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning (CIRTL) Network
What is CIRTL
麻豆传媒 became a member of the Network in 2019.听CIRTL seeks to enhance excellence in STEM undergraduate education through development of a national faculty committed to implementing and advancing evidence-based teaching practices for diverse learners. CIRTL was founded in 2003 as a National Science Foundation Center for Learning and Teaching in higher education.听
While originally developed with a STEM focus, CIRTL@Dal is open and beneficial to individuals across all Faculties and disciplines. The CIRTL Network is an opportunity for 麻豆传媒 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, in particular, to take advantage of听free听online professional development opportunities, and get access to resources, communities, and support related to teaching and learning.听CIRTL levels for completion are targeted towards a graduate and post-doctoral audience, but faculty and staff can also take advantage of CIRTL events.听CIRTL is a space to engage with peers across the network through centrally coordinated activities from the various CIRTL institutions.听
The Centre for Learning and Teaching is a partner in CIRTL@Dal providing components of the CIRTL levels of achievement.
The Faculty of Graduate Studies is a partner in CIRTL@Dal providing the Dal GradPD framework and program听to support the building of professional skills for success.听
CIRTL@Dal is provided through the financial support of the Provost鈥檚 Office.
CIRTL Events
CIRTL runs online courses, workshops, events, and more, designed to help graduate students and postdoctoral fellows across diverse disciplines to learn effective, inclusive, evidence-based approaches to teaching and learning and the scholarship of teaching and learning, supplementing听 programming from the Centre for Learning and Teaching (CLT).听While these events are primarily targeted towards a graduate and post-doctoral audience, faculty and staff can take advantage of these events too.听.
CIRTL Levels
The CLT offers three CIRTL levels: Associate, Practitioner and Scholar, to graduate students and post-doctoral fellows. These levels enable participants to build upon the professional development of their teaching through the CLT and enrich their learning by engaging with others across the global CIRTL network.
