CASTL: Carnegie Academy for the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning
UMass Dartmouth is an affiliate of the Institutional Leadership Program sponsored by the Carnegie Academy for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (CASTL). CASTL represents a major initiative of The Carnegie Foundation. Launched in 1998, the CASTL Program seeks to support the development of a scholarship of teaching and learning that:
- fosters significant, long-lasting learning for all students
- enhances the practice and profession of teaching
- brings to faculty members' work as teachers, the recognition and reward afforded to other forms of scholarly work
Our representatives to CASTL are: Maureen Hall (Education), Deirdre Healy (Director Community Service), Shannon Jenkins (Political Science), Frank Scarano (Medical Laboratory Science), and Glaucia Silva (Portuguese) who are involved with seven other universities exploring the topic of "Linking Cognitive and Affective Development."
Faculty who are interested in cognitive and affective learning should look at:
- original application to CASTL,
- January 2007 report to CASTL,
- Presentation delivered at the 2007 "Talking About Teaching" Conference
- May 2008 report to CASTL
