Pre-Symposium Professional Development Session - You're Already Doing It: Understanding and Advancing the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning In-Person
This pre-conference session offers a clear, accessible introduction to SoTL, beginning with foundational definitions and guiding principles. Participants will explore what counts as SoTL, how it differs from other forms of scholarship, and why it plays a critical role in health sciences education. Presenters will support participants in identifying their own teaching questions, areas of curiosity, and practice-based challenges, highlighting how these naturally align with SoTL and can serve as meaningful entry points for scholarly inquiry. Designed for educators at all stages of their scholarly journey, this session emphasizes inclusivity, curiosity, and practical entry points—helping participants recognize where their work already reflects SoTL and how to move forward with confidence.
