The increasing interest in incorporating evidenced-based teaching in higher education has created a pronounced need for faculty to learn the theory and practice of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). This article describes a program designed to prepare faculty to (a) draw on existing SoTL studies when designing and implementing evidenced-based teaching methods, (b) design SoTL studies to test the effectiveness of those methods, and (c) integrate their new knowledge of SoTL into the practice of "scholarly teaching." This program has proven to be a successful model for incorporating evidenced-based teaching into undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses at our university.
