The Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning is a great resource for faculty to learn more about themselves as educators as well as how their students learn in the 21st Century. We welcome all to utilize one or all of our resources at any time during the academic year.

Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
St. Cloud State University is a community of Teacher Scholars. Many of our faculty engage in Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) where they treat their own teaching as an area of scholarly inquiry. They add to a body of knowledge about teaching and learning and share their findings with the broader scholarly community. Faculty interested in training in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning have several options:
- Apply to the Minnesota State REFLECT program which brings together faculty from across disciplines, institutions, and experience to participate in a 2-year Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) faculty learning community. Applications typically are due in Spring semester each year. Training starts the following Fall semester.
- Join other St. Cloud State University Teacher Scholars in a monthly community meeting on SoTL topics (email CETL@stcloudstate.edu for more details).
- Check out the Vanderbilt Doing SoTL Training.
