The Scholarly Teacher applies evidence-based practice to enrich student learning<\/b>. Have a look at this message from the Editor on the Scholarly Teacher website<\/a>, and consider signing up to receive new blog posts.\n<\/p>\n

When teaching and learning are grounded in the scholarship of teaching and learning, we:\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. treat our classrooms and programmes as a source  of interesting questions about learning, \n<\/li>\n
  2. find ways to explore and shed light on these questions,\n<\/li>\n
  3. use this evidence to design and refine new activities, assignments, and assessments, and \n<\/li>\n
  4. share what we have found with colleagues who can comment, critique, and build on new insights (Huber & Hutchings, 2005). \n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So scholarly teaching is, at its core, an approach to teaching that is informed by inquiry and evidence (both one\u2019s own, and that of others) about student learning. It focuses on examining the ways in which we construct the learning environments that we offer students, and the attention we pay to students and their learning.\n<\/p>\n

    \nIn the book, Making Teaching and Learning Visible<\/a> (Bernstein, Burnett, Goodburn, & Savory, 2006), the authors make the point that, \u201cAn excellent teacher is one who is engaged in a well-prepared and intentional ongoing investigation of the best ways to promote a deep understanding on the part of as many students as possible\u201d (2006, p. 215).\n<\/p>\n

    That is what Scholarly Teaching is all about. It is about \n<\/p>\n
