"Bishop-Clark and Dietz-Uhler have made a unique contribution in the present volume. It is an exceptionally fine, straight-forward and brief guide for faculty looking at their first SOTL project. For most such readers, it will probably seem to be the most helpful of the [available] guides. And, although it is written with the novice in mind, many of us with more experience also will benefit from reading through it.I anticipate that this book will lead many more faculty members to see their teaching as an opportunity to engage in SOTL. And, even though it is clearly an effective guide for individual thinking, it will be even more effective when used as the focus of a Faculty Learning Community or by a less formal group of faculty working together. Indeed, the core structure and especially the worksheets will help groups to stay focused and productive. However used, it will help teachers use SOTL as a way to improve their students’ learning and to foster more advanced learning outcomes while simultaneously enhancing the faculty members’ own professional development and careers. I hope you find it as interesting and helpful as I did."Craig E. NelsonEmeritus Professor of Biology, Indiana University, and Founding President, International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning“Cathy Bishop-Clark and Beth Dietz-Uhler bring to this volume their own contagious passion for the scholarship of teaching and learning—but also an ability to translate their journey into steps that those newer to the work can easily follow. The result is both practical and inspiring."Pat Hutchings, Consulting Scholar, The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teachingand Scholar in Residence, Gonzaga University
