CTL - Past Workshop Information
On April 15th, the Center for Teaching and Learning and the Research Support Services Committee hosted the first annual Scholarship of Teaching, Assessment, and Learning (SoTAL) Poster Session. SoTAL is the process of faculty approaching education and educational research in a scholarly fashion. Nine faculty submitted posters to the session with approximately 30 faculty attending the event. External judges used a scoring rubric to judge each poster and we are please to announce that the Grand Prize winner was “Math Foundations: Skills Review Modules for Science Teachers” by Sandra Yarema and Marija Franetovic, with first runner up being “Creative Problem Solving Course – Student Perceptions of Creativity and Comparisons of Creative Problem Solving Methodologies” by Andrew Gerhart and Donald Carpenter. In addition to certificates of achievement for all participants, the top three poster submissions (there was a three way tie for third place) also received cash prizes.
A complete listing of the posters can be found below and photographs of all posters can be found on the CTL Blackboard Site under the Document Folder. The winning posters will also be displayed inside the Center for Teaching and Learning until next years competition.
