 Traditional tenure and promotion expectations  Lack of training for faculty ◦ How to develop and sustain relationships with the community ◦ How to incorporate SOE into their own scholarly agenda ◦ How to evaluate the scholarly work of colleagues  Limited resources and competing priorities

 Link strategically to each of the three promotion and tenure categories ◦ Curriculum Innovation and Assessment of Learning Outcomes  Integration into a single course  Integration throughout department’s curriculum ◦ Scholarly Articles/Presentations Utilizing Disciplinary Standards ◦ Community Service Connected to Disciplinary Knowledge

 Teaching ◦ Integrate qualitative/quantitative assessment of teaching effectiveness ◦ Integrate qualitative/quantitative assessment of learning outcomes (e.g. The Measure of Service Learning: Research Scales to Assess Student Experiences (Bringle et. A.) )

 Research ◦ Connect theory and research (generalizability, reliability, validity) ◦ Submit work to refereed journals ◦ Identify quality of journal in which the article is printed ◦ Describe work in the same language used to describe disciplinary research  Service

 Disciplinary research  Scholarship of teaching, engagement, advising – discipline-based; published in disciplinary journals  Scholarship of teaching, engagement, advising – published in teaching, higher ed journals

 Clear goals  Adequate preparation  Appropriate methods  Significant results  Effective presentation  Reflective critique ◦ Glassick, C.E., Huber, M. T. & Maeroff, G. I. (1997). Scholarship assessed. Evaluation of the professoriate. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, Inc.
