3. The scholarship of teaching A scholarship of teaching is not synonymous with excellent teaching All faculty have an obligation to teach well, to engage students, and to foster important forms of student learningsuch teaching is a good fully sufficient unto itself.

4. The scholarship of teaching When it entails, as well, certain practices of classroom assessment and evidence gathering, when it is fully informed not only by the latest ideas in the field but by current ideas about teaching in the field, when it invites peer collaboration and review, then teaching might be called scholarly, or reflective or informed.

5. The scholarship of teaching But in addition to all of this, yet another good is needed, one called the scholarship of teaching, which we describe as having three central features of being public, open to critique and evaluation, and in a form that others can build on. A fourth attributeis that it involves question-asking, inquiry and investigation, particularly around issues of student learning. Hutchings, P and Shulman, L. Teaching among the Scholarships, Change, Sept 1999
