OHIO faculty invited to upcoming workshop on opportunities for presenting, publishing

花季传媒鈥檚 Center for Teaching, Learning and Assessment (CTLA) supports faculty scholarship in teaching and learning (SoTL) through individual workshops and a faculty development certification.

SoTL is a systematic approach to investigating and improving teaching and learning practices in higher education. It involves educators through researching their own teaching and student learning, sharing their findings publicly, and using the results to enhance their practice and contribute to the broader field.

OHIO faculty are invited to mark their calendars for a special workshop led by Gregg W. Wentzell, Ph.D., assistant director of Miami University鈥檚 Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE). Wentzel is director of the , now in its 44th year at Miami University, and editor-in chief of the peer-reviewed Journal on Excellence in College Teaching. 

will take place from 2:30 to 4 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 10, via Teams. 

Wentzell has more than 30 years of college teaching and faculty development experience and presents seminars and workshops on SoTL and faculty development at U.S. and international institutions and teaching and learning conferences.

In this workshop, participants will review the process for developing a classroom research project into a submission to a scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) conference or journal. The session will be interactive and provide opportunities for individual and group work (via breakout rooms, etc.). 

Those who are new to classroom research, as well as more experienced SoTL practitioners, are welcome to participate. A 鈥渃are package鈥� of resources for developing SoTL projects will be included.

After attending this CTLA workshop, participants will be able to:

• Define scholarly teaching and SoTL
• Describe the steps in the SoTL process
• Identify an area of interest for developing a SoTL submission
• Describe criteria for publishable projects
• Access resources for support
