Fundamental Concepts
Scholarship is an approach to the way we do our work
Not everything an educator does is scholarly
Scholarly work encompasses all four elements of the definition (not every question needs to be addressed)
Scholarship may occur in various forms
Scholarly work may be collaborative (but an individual scholar’s work needs to be identified)
Assessment questions are not meant to be a checklist
This definition and assessment should not be limited to the promotion and tenure step, but to other reviews and rank changes, including post-tenure review
