2007-2008 Faculty Enhancement Series on Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

Park University faculty identified Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) as the teaching and learning topic most relevant to their current interests and practices on CETL's annual faculty survey. As such, the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning is pleased to present a faculty enhancement series to address this important topic. We hope you will join us for the following events.

  • Monday, September 24, 12:00-1:00: "InSight Author's Panel and Q&A" 

Are you interested in publishing in the next volume of InSight?  Please join us on September 24th for an Authors’ Panel and Q&A session about the next volume which will focus on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning.  There will be authors who have previously published in InSight on hand as well as the editor.  This event will be in the Louise Morden Board Room and a conference call-in code will be provided for faculty at a distance on Monday, September 17th.  (more information)

  • Wednesday, October 3, 11:00-1:00: "Defining 'Scholarship' at Primarily Undergraduate Institutions"

Join us as we continue the conversation started by Dr. Steve Trout at the fall faculty conference. Several of Dr. Trout’s colleagues from Fort Hays State University will discuss how their campus-wide dialogue about scholarship at primarily undergraduate universities led to the development of departmental standards for scholarship. These guest presenters will talk about the range of activities defined in their department as scholarship, thereby helping our own conversations. A light lunch will be provided, panel will be located in the CDL rooms MA and MB. (more information)

  • Monday, November 5, 11:00-12:30: Carnegie Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Scholars,

Location:  CDL Conference Area (rooms MA and MB)

This event is specifically for Deans, Department Chairs and Administrative Leadership.

Please mark your calendars and plan to attend the following CETL lunch and Carnegie expert panel event on Monday, November 5th, from 11-12:30.  This event is designed to aid your leadership efforts to promote scholarship among your faculty and develop departmental definitions of scholarship.  If you cannot attend, please designate a departmental proxy.  RSVP to cetl@park.edu by October 29.

The Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning, in conjunction with the Office of Academic Affairs, is pleased to host a panel of four Carnegie scholars.  These area scholars have each participated in a one-year residency at the Carnegie Foundation, during which they produced individual scholarship of teaching and learning projects.  These scholars will help us define the “scholarship of teaching and learning” and share strategies for how to promote positive scholarship expectations among our faculty.

  • Monday, May 12: New Faculty Reconvene for informal discussion and reflection on first year. Time and location TBD.

Please forward questions to cetl@park.edu.
