Assessment and Scholarship of Teaching and Learning |
Understanding the impact of instruction on student learning is a key question nationally and at U-M. To answer this question, CRLT consults with faculty and administrators to design and analyze data from assessment projects, supports faculty investigation of student learning through grants, and facilitates the discussion and dissemination of assessment results.

Curricular and Professional Development Initiatives |
Curricular and professional development initiatives are major endeavors for any academic program. CRLT works with programs undertaking these initiatives by collecting data, designing and facilitating faculty retreats, identifying and providing faculty with resources on best practices, and by offering grants to support their work.

Instructional Technology |
Innovation in teaching and learning can take many forms, and instructional technology is often a key component. CRLT supports faculty throughout the innovation life cycle. CRLT helps faculty identify needs and implement new approaches and then facilitates processes to reward and publicize those innovative efforts. Throughout, CRLT's goal is to help link faculty together to learn from and share their most promising and inspiring practices.

Diversity and Social Justice |
Making the Michigan Difference a reality for students and faculty of all backgrounds is a key goal for CRLT. From the CRLT Players to consulting and seminars, CRLT works to help faculty transform course content, create and maintain inclusive classroom environments, and expand pedagogical techniques to be more inclusive and to facilitate the achievement of all students.
