This informal Lunch and Learn is an opportunity to hear how Syracuse University educators became interested in the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) and to find out more about the different types of SoTL research projects. This program may be of particular interest to teaching professors considering how SoTL may be a good fit for their professional goals. Guest speakers will include Ash Heim, faculty fellow in biology; Havva Zorluel Özer, assistant teaching professor in writing studies, rhetoric and composition (WSRC); and Sevinç Turkkan, assistant teaching professor in WSRC. Lunch from Panera Bread will be served.

In this workshop, we will work together to transform student feedback into actionable insights that benefit both teaching and learning. Together, we’ll explore strategies for gathering, analyzing and interpreting student feedback, develop effective action plans and cultivate a culture of continuous improvement. Join us to share your ideas and learn from peers how we can collaborate to create classrooms where student voices are valued and drive positive change. Facilitated by Jacques Safari Mwayaona, faculty development fellow in the Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence.

In this hands-on workshop, participants will begin by identifying an aspect of teaching and learning that surprises or perplexes them. They will then turn it into a potential research question. After looking at a broad definition and key principles of the scholarship of teaching and learning, we will walk together through the steps of what it would look like to research participants’ questions. The SoTL world is dynamic and inviting. Please join us to explore how it might be a fit for you in the context of your own teaching and academic vocation.
Sessions are facilitated by Laurel Willingham-McLain, consulting faculty developer at the Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence.
