teaching as research (tar) projects involve the use of research methods to develop and implement teaching practices that advance the learning experiences of students and teachers. while the tar projects are aimed at improving teaching in the classroom, the impact can be much broader, both personally and professionally.
come hear about how the tar work of three students influenced their thinking about careers and provided professional opportunities. bring your own story and find out how your tar project can further strengthen your professional life.
