ADTS Vision Statement

The Academy of Distinguished Teaching Scholars (ADTS) serves as an advisory group with the mission to develop and recommend implementation of policies that enhance the University of Florida’s ability to continuously improve its high level of academic excellence. The Academy believes that original research inspires great teachers and that the challenges of teaching cultivate research. The university must create a habitat where research-whether into the enigmas of quantum mechanics or the beauty of lyric poetry, whether into the distant reaches of philosophy or the secret life of the nematode-provokes the insights of teaching, and where rigorous teaching originates in fresh research. To pass the knowledge of one generation on to the next, the university must foster the research that is the heart of learning. Where the teacher is surprised and enlightened, the student will follow.
