Research Collaborative

The concept of the complete scholar serves to provide direction for the ELTI Research Collaborative. In order to facilitate the development of theory on college teaching and theory-based practice, the Research Collaborative supports faculty who want to work with colleagues from across campus to conduct and publish college teaching research. The Research Collaborative is committed to promoting interdisciplinary inquiry, and to the employment of diverse methodologies. Contact ELTI for details.

CIRP - Classroom Instructional Research Program

Classroom Instructional Research Program is designed to promote critical inquiry into teaching and learning. Participants will develop an evidenced-based classroom research project related to their teaching either by creating or modifying a course, or addressing an instructional or assessment problem. Participants attend four faculty workshops, monthly peer group meetings and share their projects at a dinner workshop. CIRP involves a two semester commitment. Interested faculty should submit a tentative project proposal as part of the application process.
