The Center for Educational Research and Teaching Innovation (CERTI) is offering training for instructors interested in conducting educational research projects in their classrooms. The initial training session will be held from 3-4:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 14, in Room 101 Centennial Hall.

The training — Faculty Learning about Educational Research (FLER) — is being held in conjunction with the 2013-2014 cycle of educational research mini-grants funded by the vice provost for academic affairs. This is the third year of the mini-grant program.
The Feb. 14 session will include ways to identify and describe a research problem related to teaching and learning. Instructors will have a chance to share ideas for an educational research project and learn about the new cycle of mini-grants. Samples of previously funded mini-grant projects may be viewed online.
Subsequent face-to-face training sessions will be held throughout the semester to both assist faculty in preparing proposals and to help with methodology and data analysis for funded projects.
Reservations are required. Email Diane Hagni by Monday, Feb. 11, to RSVP or for more information.
