In this workshop based on our forthcoming book The SoTL Guide: (Re)Orienting the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning<\/em>\u00a0(co-authored with Katarina M\u00e5rtensson), we\u2019ll mark OPID\u2019s 25th anniversary of SoTL in the Wisconsin Teaching Fellows & Scholars by re-orienting how SoTL is both understood and undertaken. We see SoTL as more than one thing: \u00a0it\u2019s a practice that improves teaching and learning in context. It\u2019s also a field that extends how we in higher education build knowledge. It\u2019s a community that offers rich relationships for those who seek them. And it\u2019s a form of scholarship with socially conscious and humane roots that call on us to make a difference in the education of students, in the careers of academics, and in the world.<\/p>\n

Rather than a typical SoTL project development exercise that marches stepwise like a recipe, this workshop will revolve around inflection points in SoTL practice. Specifically, we will invite you to think deeply and in new ways about your own professional and personal identities, the meaningfulness or significance of your SoTL inquiry, the artifacts that illuminate your work, and the people who are part of your SoTL community. This thinking will inspire hands-on work of (re)conceptualizing your own SoTL work, including the ways that SoTL informs your professional life in and beyond your institution.<\/p>\n

Also, rather than squeezing in too much content or rushing participants through a few perfunctory exercises under the expectation that they\u2019ll do the real work on their own time, this workshop aligns with the \u201cinstitute | retreat\u201d nature of OPID\u2019s Faculty College. We\u2019ll treat the two full mornings and the beautiful location as an opportunity for slowness<\/em><\/strong>\u2014a deliberate, reflective approach that values presence, depth, and connection. In this way, the substance and pacing of this workshop honor the complexities of teaching, learning, and all aspects of your work, inviting you to think not just about what you\u2019re doing, but also why it matters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
