Welcome

The Center for the Improvement of Teaching and Learning establishes research-based partnerships to improve the quality of teaching and learning. The Center serves as a regional clearinghouse for the collection and dissemination of research on teaching and learning, and generates solutions to educational problems through collaborative, action research activities in K-12 school sites. Faculty resources are devoted toward developing and transmitting research-based curriculum materials, journal articles, paper presentations, and training materials which are designed to improve the quality of teaching and learning. The Center promotes the sharing of resources, both human and financial, among all partners and seeks to obtain support for educational improvement efforts.

Current and previous CITL projects include:

• Evaluation of a federally funded health and physical education curriculum and professional development project in the Harrisburg School District
• Evaluation of the Distinguished Educator program for the Pennsylvania Department of Education
• Evaluation of the impact of training programs and materials developed by Family Communications, Inc. (Mister Rogers) on early childhood education practices
• Development of an on-line curriculum development framework in collaboration with the Steelton-Highspire School District
