CIRTL-UTA Teaching Certificates
CIRTL-UTA Teaching Certificate Program is a no cost teaching certificate program available to all levels of UTA graduate students in all disciplines to prepare them for instructor roles by building competence in pedagogical knowledge, teaching-as-research, and teaching presence and presentation skills.
The CIRTL-UTA Teaching Certificates are divided into 4 levels and build upon the teaching and learning experiences of the previous level. Graduate students can complete one, or two, or all the certificate levels.
 | College Teaching Certificate | Awareness and Understanding about Teaching and Learning Practices |
 | Associate Certificate | Describing and Recognizing the Value in Teaching and Learning |
 | Practitioner Certificate | Engaging in Teaching and Learning Experiences |
 | Scholar Certificate | Advancing and Disseminating Teaching and Learning Experiences |
Each level has its own list of requirements. These requirements align with CIRTL core ideas of Learning through Diversity, Teaching-as-Research, and Learning Community.
When graduate students successful complete each level, they will receive a completion certificate, earn a digital badge to post on social media platforms, and have the completion of certificate level noted on official UTA transcripts.
The program has a flexible completion schedule, but participants should check with their degree program or academic department for any specific deadlines within their program requirements.
