What is SoTL?
The phrase “scholarly teaching” has been around since the early 1990’s but what does it mean? Is it enough to simply be an innovator in the classroom? How do you know an innovation is actually improving student learning? What is this movement all about and why should educators in the biological sciences care?
Below are several articles about the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). Faculty interested in the Biology Scholars Program should consider reading these background to familiarize themselves with SoTL and discover how they may contribute to the field and biology education reform.
