After 10 years and a transition from non-tenure track to tenure track to tenure….
“Wow, I can’t believe that you think that hard about your teaching”.
“Wow, I can’t believe that you can be so scientific about your teaching.”
“Wow, I can’t believe how enthusiastic you are about teaching.”
“Wow, I can’t believe that you run the STF program, work with K-8 teachers, teach in the college of ed, designed a new cancer class.”
WHAT ASSUMPTIONS DO YOUR COLLEAGUES HAVE ABOUT WHAT YOU DO?
What about my scholarship? “Wow, I can’t believe that you run the STF program,
work with K-8 teachers, teach in the college of ed, designed a new cancer class”
These are all grant-funded activities Many of which have been published Its not that they don’t care
They forget They just think of me as the teacher person And honestly, I love to teach…
ENOUGH ABOUT MY DAMN TEACHING!
1. STEALTH education Every single annual report I write Every time I ask a stats expert in my dept for advice Every time I am asked about a teaching idea Every time I try something new in my class (I invite
the entire faculty to observe to give me feedback) 2. Get grants
Not always easy or guaranteed 3. Publish papers 4. Collaborate
WHAT OPPORTUNITIES DO YOU HAVE TO SHOW THEM WHAT YOU ACTUALLY DO?
Just b/c I do SoTL, I am not “special” I don’t get a pass on productivity
Do the work, earn the respect
