Engaging faculty with SoTL: Go big, think small, stay home?

About SoTL – Analysis, synthesis, reflection, and discussion
Abstract
Institutional culture frames efforts to engage faculty in professional development initiatives. For most, new models for engagement with students, colleagues, and administrators emerged from the disruptions of the pandemic. Along with new challenges and uncertainties, this shift also presented SoTL scholars with new paths for inquiry. Using the Organizational Politics Mapping Technique (OPMT) (Deluca, 1992), the authors will discuss how the levers of institutional influence and personal relationships have impacted their work across contexts and institutions. Topics will include institutional and programmatic support, collegial interactions for shared exploration, and online resources for collaboration.
