CIRTL Annual Forum 2003

CIRTL Forum 2003: Preparing the Future STEM Faculty

CIRTL Forums are national meetings on forefront topics in graduate-through-faculty development in teaching and learning. The first CIRTL Forum will be held November 5-6, 2003 in Madison, Wisconsin. This opening Forum seeks to define the present landscape of STEM graduate training in teaching and learning at research universities across the nation, and to build connections among these STEM graduate programs.

STEM doctoral degree recipients from roughly 100 research universities will become the faculty of more than 3000 undergraduate institutions in the United States. The goal of CIRTL is to promote the integration of superb research training with advanced skills in teaching and learning in the graduate programs of the nation’s research universities. Many such universities have already committed themselves to this goal.

The first CIRTL Forum is designed for teams from research universities. Teams will include 3-4 leaders from each university's STEM graduate program; for example a team might include a graduate dean, a STEM department chair, a director of professional development, and a graduate student in a STEM field.

Participants will have the opportunity to present their graduate professional development programs in teaching and learning and be included in the national status report that will be produced from the meeting. Through presentations, small group discussions, and informal interactions, participants will learn about existing programs and build connections that will support the advancement of all graduate professional development programs.
