What teaching means at a research university:
Telling our stories
The Center for Teaching and Learning's vision is to be a partner in shaping and sustaining a
University environment where teaching matters. We envision a culture where the "drive to discover"
includes the pursuit of effective pedagogies that stimulate high quality student learning. To this
end, we invite faculty, instructional staff, and TAs from the Twin Cities campus to submit short
stories about particularly remarkable or meaningful teaching experiences.
What will happen with the stories?
With the writer's permission, the stories may be published individually or in a collection
created by the Center for Teaching and Learning in collaboration with University Relations. The
publication might be a poster, flier, booklet, or Web site. Writers will be contacted for
permission prior to any use of the story.
Writing guidelines
The guidelines are simply these:
- Develop the story from any point in your career, using any teaching situation
that helps you to express what teaching in a research university setting means
to you;
- Craft a "flash story" or one that can be conveyed to readers in 150-200 words
maximum; (see sample stories)
- Title your piece.
