2. Taking Stock CIRTL Mission Statement Enhance excellence in undergraduate education through the development of a STEM national faculty committed to implementing and advancing effective teaching practices for diverse learners as part of successful and varied professional careers.

3. 80% Ph.D.s 100 Research Universities 2-yr College Liberal Arts Masters University Comprehensive University Research University Undergraduate Education Taking Stock CIRTL Strategy

4. 1.No single university can develop the future STEM faculty … but 100 universities can. 2.No single university can know or prepare their students for the diversity of teaching needs across the nation. 3.A learning community of universities can reap the benefits of collective experience, collaborative initiatives, and shared resources. Taking Stock The CIRTL Network – Why?
