Mentoring

Mentoring

Mentoring is an effective and practical strategy for supporting faculty members in their efforts to achieve their highest potential across the career span.

Leadership

Leadership Development

Academic leadership encompasses the formal and informal ways faculty influence the direction, quality, and culture of their departments, institutions, disciplines, and broader communities. 

Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Research

Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (CATT)

The scholarship of teaching and learning (SOTL) is the systematic inquiry into student learning and teaching practices in higher education.

SoTL Story Map

At its core, SoTL bridges teaching and scholarship. It treats the classroom as a legitimate site of inquiry and connects the intellectual work faculty are already doing with a growing international conversation about how learning works and how higher education can do better.
