CETL St. Augustine Workshop Registration

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is a powerful approach that bridges teaching, learning, and research. It transforms your classroom into a site of inquiry, where you systematically explore questions about student learning, evaluate evidence, and share findings with the academic community. This workshop will introduce you to a structured local framework for conducting research in your classroom and disseminating your findings publicly, moving your practice beyond "pedagogical solitude" join a community of educators who make teaching a scholarly pursuit...introducing SoTL Commons.

Over the next year you will join a supported cohort and move your practice beyond “pedagogical solitude.” You will have the opportunity to share preliminary findings at the Faculty Café in April, and develop a manuscript for a peer-reviewed journal.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• • Define SoTL and articulate its benefits for individual, departmental, and institutional development.
  • Differentiate between scholarly teaching and SoTL inquiry.
  • Identify and describe the stages of a typical SoTL project
  • Develop a preliminary action plan for initiating a SoTL investigation in your teaching context
  • Discuss itemised considerations for ethical approval
  • Identify a peer for collaborative inquiry/writing
