Description

The majority of published evidence about the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) has focused on benefits that accrue to students when faculty use SoTL-based approaches. This edited volume, however, provides perspectives on how using SoTL can be helpful for faculty who use SoTL in their teaching. Authors focused on providing faculty members with the rationale for using SoTL in their teaching and with concrete steps they can take (and pointers they can use) in applying SoTL to the classroom, job search, and tenure/promotion process.
