Transform is a joint publication of the Academy of Distinguished Teachers (Twin Cities) and the Center for Teaching and Learning. Transform’s mission is to explore the culture and scholarship of teaching and learning at both the local and national levels. It strives to be a place where faculty and instructors can showcase their research on teaching and where we might link learning issues at the University of Minnesota to national and international discussions on innovative educational practices and assessment. Transform is published by the Academy of Distinguished Teachers in the Office for Academic Affairs and Provost and the Center for Teaching and Learning in the Office Human Resources.
