“Whether you’re new to the scholarship of teaching and learning or an old hand, this book should be on your (virtual) shelf.  Shaped by the experience of three of the field’s most thoughtful—and welcoming—practitioners, it brings together examples and insights from the last several decades while also holding up an ambitious vision for future work, work with the potential for changing the culture of higher education itself.  In short, The SoTL Guide is a gift from the field to the field, and a great pleasure to read.” — Pat Hutchings, Senior Scholar, National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment (NILOA), and Senior Scholar, Bay View Alliance (BVA)

“The SoTL Guide is much more than a manual—it is an invitation to rediscover the human, ethical, and transformative essence of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. Chick, Felten, and Mårtensson weave wisdom, humility, and relational scholarship into a generous roadmap that connects inquiry, identity, and community. This book reorients SoTL toward its deepest purpose: to cultivate meaning, dignity, and public good in higher education. For those of us in the Global South, it resonates as a call to make SoTL a collective act of care and justice.” —Oscar Jerez Yañez, Associate Professor in the Department of Health Sciences Education and Director of the Teaching and Learning Center, School of Medicine, University of Chile

“The authors have adeptly threaded the needle of providing rich content that will appeal to both SoTL-curious readers and to deeply SoTL-embedded scholars looking to reflect on their methods, assumptions, and practices. As authors from different cultural and institutional contexts, they highlight how these contextual factors have shaped their own SoTL journeys and practices, and by highlighting a wide range of scholars across contexts and countries, they have meaningfully broadened the SoTL author “set” that is commonly featured in SoTL dialogue.” —Sarah Bunnell, Director of the Center for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning and Associate Professor of Psychology, Elon University

“There is so much that I appreciate about this book: from the clear and consistent writing style across chapters, to the voluminous but not overwhelming range of examples that are not limited to the usual North American contexts. Rather than being prescriptive about how to ‘do’ SoTL, the authors emphasize the importance of starting with purposes. The book offers a helpful perspective on the high-level purpose of transforming higher education while offering practical, bounded reasons for engaging in SoTL. Perhaps above all, the book’s emphasis on SoTL as sustained and collegial practice offers a very welcome and refreshing perspective on this important work.” —Johan Geertsema, Associate Professor in NUS College, National University of Singapore

“This timely and insightful book is a must-read and an indispensable resource for educators on a transformative journey in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. With clarity, depth, and scholarly rigour, it reorients SoTL as both a personal and collective endeavour, one grounded in an ethics of care, curiosity, purpose, reflexivity, and community. A vital guide for designing, analysing, and relational inquiry to shape teaching and learning for the greater good.”—Kasturi Behari-Leak, Dean of the Centre for Higher Education Development, University of Cape Town
