Granted SoTL projects
The Utrecht University Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Grant aims to stimulate and support teachers that want to conduct such a systematic and meaningful inquiry of their own teaching practice. Teachers are invited to examine their own classroom practice, improve the learning of their students, record their successes and failures, and importantly also share their experiences so that others may reflect on their findings. The SOTL Grants are intended for all teachers, starting and more experienced, and you can apply for small (e.g. one lecture or seminar) and somewhat larger (e.g. a whole course or significant part of a course) projects that you are involved in.
