The Center for Teaching and Learning is hosting a Fall workshop series on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). Are you are interested in how to research your own classroom teaching practices and student learning experiences? Start by joining our series to learn how to craft your own research questions, collect data from your students on their experiences in your course and share your research in SoTL publications and at the UVM SoTL symposium in May of 2025.
