The Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning (CIRTL) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, in collaboration with Michigan State University and Pennsylvania State University, is creating an interdisciplinary program to prepare graduate students, post-doctoral researchers and current faculty to meet the challenges of STEM higher education. This Higher Education Center for Learning and Teaching is based on a teaching-as-research concept that enables future and current STEM faculty to engage in teaching in the same way they engage in their research. The project integrates teaching-as-research and interdisciplinary learning communities in a professional development program that addresses the educational responsibilities of current and future faculty. The professional development program includes a curriculum that provides a foundation for teaching-as-research and improved classroom practice, experiential learning in informal education and instructional materials development, internships in a variety of learning environments, and preparation for teaching and learning with diverse student populations. The focus of the research component is on promoting best practices in post-secondary STEM teaching and learning, fostering change in STEM graduate-through-faculty cultures, and transferring successful strategies between departments and across universities. Through national implementation of the professional development program, CIRTL is expected to serve approximately 2,000 STEM graduate students and post-doctoral researchers annually while establishing learning communities for graduates-through-faculty at 10 research universities representing 10% of the major U.S. graduate institutions. This project is jointly funded by the Division of Undergraduate Education in the Directorate for Education and Human Resources and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.

威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的研究、教学和学习整合中心(CIRTL)与密歇根州立大学和宾夕法尼亚州立大学合作，正在创建一个跨学科项目，为研究生、博士后研究人员和现有教师培养应对STEM高等教育挑战的能力。这个高等教育学习与教学中心以教学为研究的理念为基础，使未来和现有的STEM教职员工能够以参与研究的相同方式从事教学。该项目将教学即研究和跨学科学习社区整合到一个专业发展计划中，该计划旨在解决当前和未来教师的教育责任。专业发展计划包括为教学作为研究和改进课堂实践提供基础的课程，在非正规教育和教材开发中的体验式学习，在各种学习环境中的实习，以及为与不同学生群体的教学和学习做准备。研究部分的重点是促进中学后STEM教与学方面的最佳做法，促进STEM从毕业生到教员的文化变革，并在各系和各大学之间转移成功的战略。通过在全国范围内实施专业发展计划，CIRTL预计每年将为大约2000名STEM研究生和博士后研究人员提供服务，同时在10所研究型大学(占美国主要研究生院的10%)的教职员工中为毕业生建立学习社区。该项目由教育和人力资源局本科生教育司和数学和自然科学局多学科活动办公室共同资助。
