In this chapter, the authors describe the theory of change behind a regional cross-institutional community of practice (CoP) for educational developers seeking to strengthen their institution's SoTL culture and increase faculty SoTL production by providing institution-level support initiatives and programming.

The Unlearning Cycle offers a way to help educators identify some of the underlying assumptions and beliefs we bring to our pedagogical design. In a field so focused on learning, it is actually unlearning we need to focus on. This chapter shares research and strategies to trade up for new ways of teaching and designing for inclusive, rigorous…

This chapter describes a blended graduate degree program, built on the principles of the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL), that can serve as a roadmap for how health professions education can formalize, and advance, SoTL-based work.

This article explores the evolutionary nature of higher education and how it continues to stress the need for the professoriate to be active within scholarly teaching.
