The Delta Program is a research, teaching and learning community for graduate students, post-docs, faculty and staff that is helping current and future faculty change the landscape of science, engineering, and math higher education.

The Delta Program is founded on 3 interrelated core ideas.

1) Teaching-as-Research: applying the rigor of research methods to the challenge of teaching;

2) Learning Community: creating a community of educators and future educators through collaborative activities and programs that will support and validate growth in teaching and learning and create a foundation for institutional change;

3) Diversity: bringing together diverse views to broaden and strengthen our approaches to help diverse students succeed in STEM courses.

The Delta Program, launched in September 2003, is implementing these core ideas at the University of Wisconsin - Madison through graduate courses, small and large group on-going discussions, and internships, all within a learning community environment. The Delta Program is a project of the Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning, a National Science Foundation Center for Learning and Teaching.
