1. Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL)
There’s a whole literature on this subject.
In a nutshell, SoTL covers innovative teaching and studying (some aspect or model of) teaching
Potential article topics:– a case study of service-learning teaching– a new service-learning model within a discipline– an interdisciplinary model– a reflection innovation– a self-journey (auto-ethnography)

• Critical Community Service Learning: Combining Critical Classroom Pedagogy with Activist Community Placements
• Points of Discomfort: Reflections on Power and Partnerships in International Service Learning
• Student Perceptions of Community-based Research Partners and the Politics of Knowledge
• Disrupting Borders: A Case Study in Engaged Scholarship
What might be a focus of an article that you might write that relates directly to teaching a service-learning course and would qualify as an example of the scholarship of teaching and learning?

3. Scholarship of Engagement
Where a faculty member is invited to become involved in the community in a way that involves and benefits the community, taps the faculty member’s expertise, and leads to a scholarly product derived from the community experience
Two popular forms of scholarship of engagement are: (a) community-based research – where a faculty member co-develops a research project that involves the community in the shaping of it, that is intended to benefit the community, and that also benefits the faculty member’s scholarship; and(b) public scholarship (Imagining America) – where a (humanities, art, or design) faculty member co-develops a product that contributes to the public good and yields artifacts of public and intellectual value.
Scholarship of EngagementSample Article Titles

3. Scholarship of Engagement:Example
A business professor proficient in for-profit strategic planning is invited to work with a local nonprofit on their strategic plan (Professional Service). From the experience, she writes an article or a book about what does/doesn’t apply from for-profit strategic planning to nonprofit strategic planning.
Describe a way you might become involved in the community such that it involves and benefits the community, taps your area of expertise, and culminates in a scholarly product or public artifact?
