I think that would be wonderful. I certainly struggle with grant 
applications where you're supposed to talk about how your instruction is 
"research-based." Basically, as a teacher, I do what seems to work, so I 
suppose you could say it's research-based, but it's certainly not 
scientific in the usual sense, nor documented, nor "rigorous," again in the 
usual sense, though it's certainly a result of hard work and much thought 
on my part.
