What exactly is Education Scholarship? There are many definitions and frameworks available, but put simply, educational work is considered scholarship if:

• A scholarly approach was taken during development (e.g., review of existing resources, literature, theoretical frameworks or best practices in the field, consultation with experts/peers, an attempt to build on the work of others).
• The effectiveness of the activity was evaluated (e.g., teacher ratings, learner satisfaction/gains in knowledge, formal examinations, etc.).
• The educational work was disseminated in a format that can be used/adopted/built on by others (e.g., presentations or posters at local or other meetings or conferences, web-posting, publication in the literature, etc.)

There are several accepted categories of education scholarship, including teaching, curriculum development, learner assessment, mentoring/advising and leadership/administration.

As you read through the resources attached, you may find that the work you're already doing can "count" as scholarship - if you just take a couple of extra steps! To learn more, click here.
