Shifting the focus to the personal dimension, this chapter explores the transformative effects of engaging in SoTL on individual academics. It highlights how SoTL projects can reshape teaching practices, scholarly habits, and professional identities, encouraging educators to reflect on how their work in SoTL changes not just what they do, but who they are. The chapter acknowledges both the exhilaration and challenges of this transformation: moments of impostorism, uncertainty with new methodologies, or feelings of vulnerability are presented as normal—and even productive—signs of growth. Through examples from experienced practitioners, the authors show that SoTL’s impact ranges from subtle amplifications of existing commitments to dramatic re-orientations of identity. Whether reinforcing values of equity and justice or opening new scholarly directions, SoTL becomes a practice of ongoing self-discovery. Readers are encouraged to embrace the reflective, sometimes uncomfortable, process of becoming a different kind of teacher-scholar through sustained SoTL engagement.
