The SoTL Scholars Program includes an asynchronous, online course designed to encourage structured engagement and accountability among all participants. It utilizes monthly readings, videos, consultation, and peer review of assignments to provide scaffolding for every stage of the SoTL process, from formation of the research question to dissemination through presentations and publications. Each module of the course builds on previous modules, mirroring the steps in the SoTL process. Participants who complete all modules are eligible to attend the SoTL Scholars Writing Academy in May 2022, for which they will receive summer funding. – May 17, 2022

Service learning is a High-Impact Practice for students. The It's About Engagement! Institutes for Course (re)Design are an opportunity for faculty to transform their courses to enhance student engagement using research-based practices that are aligned with the definitions and guidelines for the Its About Engagement! initiative. For the 2022 Course (re)Design Institute, CETL is partnering with KSU's Department of Leadership and Service, Ruthie Yow from Georgia Tech, and Urkovia Andrews from Georgia Southern to focus on service learning. Faculty can either design a new course or redesign an existing course. Participation in this institute is part of a competitive application process. – May 16, 2022

This webinar is designed for full-time faculty on the tenure track who will be submitting their portfolios in Fall for pre-tenure review or promotion and tenure review. While all the rules, schedules, forms and procedures can be found in the Faculty Affairs website, preparing all the relevant documentation is a momentous endeavor that can generate questions and perplexities. Furthermore, the narrative is a genre few faculty are practiced in. We will review requirements and timelines, as well as share common pitfalls and suggestions for crafting an effective portfolio. Full-time non-tenure track faculty in departments that require a third year review should consult with their chairs to understand the expectations for that review. – May 06, 2022

While many of us enjoy our scholarship and creative activity, at times impediments to productivity arise that can prove challenging to overcome. In this workshop we will discuss the research on scholarly and creative productivity to identify barriers and effective practices for overcoming them -- including procrastination, impostor syndrome, shame, questioning relevance or institutional/disciplinary alignment, reinvigorating a stalled research agenda, finding time to do that which feels important but not urgent, responding to negative reviews, and beyond. – April 20, 2022

In the previous workshops, we have traversed the liberating current, ascending the chakras to achieve a higher level of consciousness, more grounded, powerful, loving, true, connected. However, the chakra system is not linear but cyclical. Once we reach the crown, we aim to descend the chakras in order to manifest the higher consciousness into a new reality (Judith and Goodman 2012). This is called the manifesting current. This final workshop will help us navigate this current to manifest fulfilling professional possibilities. – April 15, 2022

A scholarly teaching practice involves receiving feedback on teaching, reflecting on that feedback, and making adjustments to our teaching. Observing online teaching is not the same as reviewing online course design. Observations of online teaching should focus on the delivery of the course, including the interactions between and among students, the learning activities students are engaging in, and the feedback and direction they are receiving from the instructor. Folks attending this session will review research-based best practices for online course facilitation and learn how to apply an online asynchronous course observation tool to provide targeted and helpful feedback to peers. – April 13, 2022

Leadership narratives serve a variety of purposes in your professional journey, including explaining who you are as a leader, articulating your leadership goals and values, illustrating your leadership philosophy in practice, and demonstrating reflective leadership practice over time, among other goals. In this webinar, participants will be guided in both reflecting on and beginning to draft their leadership narratives, including balancing the rhetorical dimensions of formal leadership statements and the connective power of narrating personal stories. – April 05, 2022
