Teaching & Learning Scholars Program - Coming in the Fall of 2021!

The Teaching & Learning Scholars Program (TEAL) is designed to support faculty on their journey to becoming Teaching & Learning Scholars. TEAL Faculty Scholars will receive support and guidance as they reflect on the ways that teaching and learning interact and subsequently impact student academic success, educational outcomes, and faculty job satisfaction.

TEAL Faculty Scholars will have the opportunity to develop, present, and publish a Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) project. SoTL projects focus on exploring meaningful questions about student learning and are guided by a systematic approach to gathering evidence, sharing results, and improving educational experiences.

This program will be hosted by Academic Affairs' Professional Development Branch. See here for more info on Professional Development through Academic Affairs

Prepare

Stage 1: Prepare to conduct teaching as research by participating in a faculty learning community designed to support you in this process. You'll have the opportunity to learn and share ideas with a small group of dedicated instructors and faculty support.

Present

Stage 2: Present your work from stage 1 at a conference or teaching workshop. Participating in the annual teaching symposium hosted by Academic Affairs, OIA, and other faculty support organizations is a great opportunity for you to share your ideas and get feedback so that you can move confidently to stage 3: publish.

Publish

Stage 3: Publish your work! You'll receive guidance at this stage with feedback, editing, and moral support. You'll learn about various journals you could submit your work to. We'll also talk about ways to extend our publication reach by considering non-traditional publication sites (e.g. teaching newsletters).
