CIRTL at Northwestern efforts support future faculty such as STEM and social science graduate students and postdocs. Participation in STEM-based programming offered through the Searle Center and the CIRTL Online Network is eligible for and recognized by a CIRTL Certificate.
The CIRTL Network vision is to transform higher education through implementing innovative, culturally responsive pedagogy that benefits all learners. At Searle, we recognize three-levels of engagement and achievement of learning outcomes by offering a CIRTL Certificate that is in alignment with the CIRTL Network core ideas. We offer a flexible, three-tiered certificate program for graduate students and postdoctoral trainees who partake in local and online programming.
Participants should make progress toward:
To achieve learning outcomes at this level, attend one exploratory session from each offering:
To achieve learning outcomes at this level, complete the Associate Level Programming, plus:
To achieve learning outcomes at this level, complete the Practitioner Level Programming, plus:
*Forthcoming
We recognize that participants may move through this program in a non-linear fashion. To earn the certificate at each level, participants should submit one-page reflection(s) (link forthcoming) demonstrating achievement of the learning outcomes upon the completion of each level that will accompany any program assignments and artifacts. Participants may be asked to provide additional materials supporting the program learning outcomes.
