Scholarship of Teaching & Learning (SoTL)

SoTL…”to encourage the study of instruction and principles of learning in order to implement practical, effective methods of teaching and learning; promote the application, development, and evaluation of such methods; and foster the scholarship of teaching and learning among practicing post-secondary educators.”

Professional Development

My professional development focuses on creating equitable, human-centered learning environments through the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). This work centers on three interconnected pedagogical pillars—Trauma-Informed Practice, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and Grading for Growth—to shift classroom culture to iterative mastery and authentic engagement. As the educational landscape evolves, I am actively exploring how these principles must adapt to emerging trends in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and strengthen the vital link between the curriculum and Community Engagement based learning.
