Wisconsin Teaching Scholars
June 24 – June 29, 2001
Pyle Center, Madison, WI
Final Agenda
Summer Institute is designed to provide a forum and a frame in which the Wisconsin Teaching Scholars may begin to conceptualize and work on their course redesign in terms of the scholarship of teaching and learning. The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SOT&L) means understanding, explaining and valuing teaching and attention to student learning as scholarly, intellectual work. Advancing this perspective requires an academic culture that encourages the following principles:
Summer Institute is structured so that the mornings will be spent engaging the eight principles of the SOT&L listed above, and the afternoons will be spent in both individual and collaborative work on Scholar projects. Some of the Scholars will have the opportunity to present their nascent projects; all of the Scholars will have the opportunity to engage in and practice peer review.
The Wisconsin Teaching Scholars Program has three over-arching goals:
1) to provide Scholars with the opportunity to develop their individual projects;
2) to enable Scholars to make themselves available as resources and to collaborate with others; and
3) to advance the scholarship of teaching and learning.
Each of these goals will be put into practice throughout Summer Institute.
