2. Agenda Introduction: Teaching-as-Research & TAR Learning Outcomes (Rique Campa) Topic 1: Integrating Teaching-as-Research into a course (Wendy Crone) Breakout Session Topic 2: How to fit CIRTL and TAR into a graduate career? Topic 3: What would define a "CIRTL course" in the context of Teaching-as-Research? Full Group Discussion

3. Teaching-as-Research Teaching-as-Research (TAR) -- the deliberate, systematic, and reflective use of research methods to develop and implement teaching practices that advance the learning experiences and outcomes of students and teachers. Participants in TAR apply a research approach to their teaching practice. (Your classroom is your “laboratory”)

4. Teaching-as-Research Learning foundational knowledge - What is known about the teaching practice? Creating objectives for student learning - What do we want students to learn? Developing an hypothesis for practices to achieve learning objectives - How can we help students meet the learning objectives? Defining measures of success - What evidence is needed to determine students’ achievement of learning objectives? Developing and implementing teaching practices within an experimental design. --- What will we do to enable students to achieve learning objectives? Collecting and analyzing data - How will we collect and analyze information to see what students learned? Reflecting, evaluating, and iterating Steps:

5. Teaching-as-Research Participant can define achievable and measureable learning goals and makes them public. Teaching plan describes activities in which the learner will engage to meet the learning objectives. Assessment plans are aligned with the learning goals. Evaluation uses assessment data to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of the teaching approach. CIRTL Fellow:

6. Teaching-as-Research Participant provides rationale and evidence for where the current teaching approach can improve and analyzes existing knowledge on teaching methods and ideas considered for adaptation. Participant describes well-defined learning goals (measurable, appropriate, based on existing knowledge). Participant develops assessment instruments that are aligned with the learning objectives and provide the instructors and students with feedback about learning (at various times during implementation). Participant presents a hypothesis connecting the teaching plan to achievement of the learning goals. Participant includes a teaching plan that details the sequence of activities in which students and instructor will engage. Participant collects, analyzes, and draws legitimate conclusions from data regarding student learning and the validity of their hypothesis. Participant engages in a “full inquiry cycle” and makes further changes in her/his teaching practices based on the data analysis. CIRTL Practitioner:

7. Teaching-as-Research Participant recognize the importance of implementing practices associated with each pillar for being an effective and improving teacher. Participant has designed, implemented, and defended TAR project designs and results to peers (in education or discipline). Participant has presented and/or published the results of TAR efforts to local, regional, national, or international audiences of their peers. CIRTL Scholar:
