The Centre for Teaching and Learning is pleased to be able to offer an opportunity for Trent faculty to engage in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning next summer! Our “summer camp” will take place between June 18th and 20th, 2025 at Elmhirst's Resort in Keene, ON. The retreat will include:
-
Guest speakers on topics in SoTL research
-
Group seminars and collaborative working time
-
Time for independent work
-
Project consultations with the SoTL Coordinator
We will also have time for leisure and opportunities to explore the resort property. Potential activities include hiking, biking, canoeing, swimming, and taking part in group games like an escape maze. Meals and shared accommodations will be provided for our “campers”.
We invite applications from Trent faculty who would like to participate in this experience. As spots are limited, priority for this year will be given to Wickerson Foundation Fund grant recipients and Trent Teaching Fellows. If you are interested, please apply to Devon Stillwell (devonstillwell@trentu.ca) and include the following:
1. Proposed plan for the retreat (2-3 pages) including:
-

2. A CV highlighting work specifically related to teaching and SoTL engagement
