The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
“The scholarship of teaching and learning involves systematic study of teaching and/or learning and the public sharing and review of such work through presentations or publications.”
-Kathleen McKinney, Cross Endowed Chair in the Scholarship in Teaching and Learning, Illinois State University
The afternoon session of the CWPA “Meeting in the Middle,” our annual one-day event in Charlotte, will provide a venue for sharing our work on the scholarship of teaching and learning with our colleagues from North and South Carolina. We invite proposals for poster presentation that contribute to the scholarship of teaching and learning. Posters might, for instance focus on classroom-based research projects that you have done or that you plan to do, or they might focus on how research, whether classroom-based or not, can inform and enrich teaching practices. Graduate students and faculty from all ranks are welcome to join us.
Please bring your own easel or way or displaying your poster.
