Background

Scope and Content:

The CRLT Publications (1.25 linear feet) include brochures, bulletins, manuals, newsletters, and reports of the CRLT. The CRLT bulletin Memo to the Faculty, which describes effective methods of learning, teaching and testing, sought to help faculty and teaching assistants improve their skills. The bulletin was first distributed in 1963, and ceased publication in 1982 due to budget cuts. A complete run is included in this subgroup. In 1987, CRLT began publishing a new bulletin entitled CRLT Occasional Papers, which once more focused on methods which could improve teaching and learning. A complete run is available, through 2007. Also included in bulletins is the Criteria for the Evaluation, Support, and Recognition of College Teachers, from 1976-1978. It published reports from research by the CRLT, supported by the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education, Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.

The publications also contains manuals, which include guidebooks for graduate student instructors on how to teach, resources and support services for new faculty members, and guides on using computers for instruction. Also included in the manuals is "Teaching Tips" by Wilbert McKeachie, who later became director of the CRLT.

The remaining publications are reports, providing the results of studies by the CRLT. The majority address the training of graduate student instructors, and the evaluation and improving of college instruction. There is also a report on the undergraduates at the University of Michigan from 1993.
