SoTL Fellows Program
2022 SoTL Fellows Program Description听- Apply online by March 15, 2022.
Getting Started in SoTL Workshop:听planned for late March 2022.
All faculty are invited to attend this workshop, which will focus on developing a scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) project to investigate the connections between teaching and student learning and success.
Overview
The SoTL Fellows Program provides 91社区 faculty members with the opportunity to develop and carry out a scholarly project that systematically investigates connections between one鈥檚 teaching and student learning and/or student success. Through participation in a learning community, Fellows will develop and carry out a research project focused on connections between teaching and student learning and outcomes, receive support and guidance during the process, and establish collegial connections across disciplines. Fellows will receive a $1,000 stipend after the successful completion of the multi-semester program, which starts in March 2022 and concludes in May 2023. 听Faculty interested in participating in the SoTL Fellows program must apply by the deadline to be considered.

As a member of the faculty at 91社区, one serves both as a teacher and a scholar who contributes to their discipline(s), students, peers, and community. The relationship between teaching and scholarship is strengthened when one鈥檚 scholarship, research, and/or creative work informs one鈥檚 teaching practice to support student learning and when one鈥檚 teaching practice motivates scholarly inquiry on its effectiveness on student learning and success. Acknowledging the commitment of teacher-scholars who directly impact student learning and success, the SoTL Fellows program provides faculty members with a multi-semester opportunity to enhance one鈥檚 scholarship on teaching and student learning.听听
