The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning at Western Carolina University

 

Online Articles

“… our experience… confirms that faculty do see teaching as significant intellectual activity. Thus, we learned that it isn’t necessary to create interest in the investigation of teaching and learning issues, merely to unleash it… A scholarship of teaching and learning may have greater potential to improve teaching than any teaching initiative in at least the last third of a century… Every person who supports change can become a leader effecting it. Many faculty members have long ached for change that elevates teaching.”

- Samuel Thompson
