Carnegie Academy for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (CASTL) Leadership Program
The University of Colorado System is now in the third year of its participation in CASTL, a program sponsored by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning. The goals of CASTL include fostering inquiry and leadership for the improvement of student learning, developing and synthesizing knowledge about learning and teaching, and promoting institutional change in support of the scholarship of teaching and learning. Colleges and universities document and assess their efforts, and provide ongoing evidence of impact. CASTL staff also assess the work in an effort to better understand and document the development of leadership capacity, knowledge building, and institutional change.

In 2006, the Carnegie Foundation funded CU’s proposal to join CASTL. Click here for relevant press releases. In making its award to CU, the Foundation asked for a three year commitment of funding the President’s Teaching and Learning Collaborative 2006-2009, a project in which all faculty of the University of Colorado System are invited to participate.
