About CIRTL@UCLA

UCLA is a member of the Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning Network (CIRTL; pronunciation: sir-toll), an international network of 43+ universities committed to transforming higher education by training future educators in evidence-based teaching practices that benefit all learners. The goal of our local chapter (CIRTL@UCLA) is to train educators representing all backgrounds to teach effectively in their disciplines, thereby improving the learning and literacy of all students across higher education. 

The CIRTL Certification provides professional development in evidence-based teaching and reflective practices for graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and early career faculty across any discipline. Many alumni currently have careers within and beyond academia. Benefits of completing the CIRTL Certification include:

• Participating in a cohort-based learning community
• Developing into an effective, self-reflective educator
• Fostering qualitative and quantitative research skills
• Accessing in-person and online professional development events and workshops across the international CIRTL network
• Being competitive for a broader array of jobs
• Expanding your professional network
• And much more!
