The Challenges and Joys of Juggling There has been growing demand
for workshops and materials to help those in higher education
conduct and use the scholarship of teaching and learning. This book
offers advice on how to do, share, and apply SoTL work to improve
student learning and development. Written for college-level faculty
members as well as faculty developers, administrators, academic
staff, and graduate students, this book will also help
undergraduate students collaborating with faculty on SoTL projects.
Though targeted at those new to the field of SoTL, more seasoned
SoTL researchers and those attempting to support SoTL efforts will
find the book valuable. It can be used as an individual reading, a
shared reading in SoTL writing circles, a resource in workshops on
SoTL, and a text in seminars on teaching. Contents include:
- Defining SoTL
- The functions, value, rewards, and standards for SoTL work
- Working with colleagues, involving students, writing grants, integrating SoTL into your professional life, and finding useful resources
- Practical and ethical issues associated with SoTL work
- Making your SoTL public and documenting your work
- The status of SoTL in disciplinary and institutional
contexts - Applying the goals of SoTL to enhance student
learning and development.
