Scholarly Teaching for Faculty

Welcome! This guide supports our faculty's efforts to practice evidence-based scholarly teaching.

What is Scholarly Teaching?


Scholarly teaching involves the careful integration of best practices for improvements in student learning. In a cyclical manner, the scholarly teacher consults the literature around teaching and learning and translates best practices into their institutional context to guide their teaching-learning experience. Scholarly teaching is informed by evidence, theory, and critical reflection.
