The Chancellor’s Learning Scholars Program
The Chancellor’s Learning Scholars Program was a system-wide initiative where scholars from each institution facilitated faculty learning (FLC) communities on their campuses around a particular pedagogy or topic in higher education. One of the topics available to the 2019-2020 cohort was the scholarship of teaching and learning. While each FLC determined the direction their FLC would take, most SoTL-focused FLCs either learned about SoTL with the intent of eventually planning their own SoTL project, or were conducting SoTL research.
