Upcoming Events
Getting Started with the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
Workshop/Training | EmpowerED Series
Curious about how to turn your classroom into a site for scholarly inquiry? This one-hour introductory workshop will help faculty explore the fundamentals of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), including how to frame meaningful research questions about student learning, identify relevant methods, and begin designing a SoTL project based on their own teaching. Participants will leave with practical resources, sample studies, and guidance for taking their first steps into SoTL.
The Research Lab as a “Small Business”
Workshop/Training | Sparkshops
And you thought you could just do research, right? No, you need to hire, onboard, manage, motivate, mentor, keep records, do accounting, obtain funding, and perhaps other things like…research. You are now CEO, COO, CFO, in addition to your other roles as a faculty member. In this session we will dissect the different roles of a faculty research principal investigator, and explore how to ‘do it all’, including how to align your research lab with positive values and culture so that your research is not only good, but feels good.
