A Teaching Conference of One's Own: Inviting Faculty into the Scholarly Work of Teaching
Sievers, Julie
To Improve the Academy, v34 n1-2 p345-366 Jun 2015
This essay examines the value of creating a peer-reviewed conference on teaching at one's own campus. A conference created by faculty and for faculty is an effective way to address several challenges faced by many teaching centers, especially the challenge of involving a wide range of faculty in scholarly approaches to teaching. I cite experience and data from my center's work in this area over the past six years and contextualize it amidst the literature on the scholarship of teaching and learning.
