Working Paper Series

The HKS Teaching and Learning Working Paper Series promotes research-based approaches to instructional practice. Faculty authors pose inquiries, experiment and gather data, and reflect on and share their results. Such explorations can bring increased awareness, value, and skill to our teaching and our students' learning.  

Initial funding for the Teaching and Learning Working Paper Series was provided by the Harvard Initiative for Learning and Teaching (HILT).
