This year the University has introduced the category of Scholarship into promotions criteria for colleagues on a Teaching and Scholarship (T&S) contract, and the ITL is offering a series of workshops about how you might do scholarship in your context. But, whether you are applying for promotion, for teaching awards, or just need to explain to someone what you do, it is also helpful to be able to tell your own T&S story - or what some may refer to as a “golden thread” – that is, a clear (and usually succinct) way of articulating the big picture of what your scholarship does and what difference it makes. But this is a tricky task! And often even harder to do alone! So, in this session, we lead and support participants to begin to tell their story and draw out their golden thread. Beginning with a short consideration of what scholarship is, participants will then explore their teaching philosophy, draw out key contributions they have made to teaching and/or scholarship, and work with peers to begin to refine their story and draw out their golden thread.
This workshop is open to anyone who wants to refine how they talk about their teaching, their scholarship, or both. It is open to anyone who teaches, not just those on T&S contracts, and will be valuable whatever stage in your career and your teaching and/or scholarship journey you are. It will take place face to face and colleagues should come prepared to talk about what they do and to listen to one another. By the end of the workshop participants will have an understanding of how scholarship is defined at the University of Manchester, they will have built a clear articulation of their teaching philosophy, have identified some key contributions they make in teaching and scholarship and have a draft golden thread or summary of their T&S story.
Intended learning outcomes
During this workshop participants will:
