Self-Paced Professional Development Certificate Program

This self-paced professional development opportunity is open to all Rowan faculty and staff. Participants engage with short, on-demand videos on key topics in teaching and learning – from student engagement and inclusive pedagogy to course design and assessment strategies.

Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

SoTL is a systematic process focused on the active intellectual & emotional inquiry into teaching and learning. SoTL investigates the relationship between teaching & learning with the goal of improving student learning. The aim of SoTL isn’t only to determine “what works” in the classroom, but also to consider the educators, learners, and context of the learning. SoTL includes the intentional communication of results to contribute to the larger knowledge base.

Spring Break Writing Retreat

The Provost’s Office and Faculty Center invite all full-time faculty and librarians to consider applying for the 2026 Spring Break Writing Retreat. The purpose of this retreat is to provide faculty and librarians with expectations for producing scholarly and creative activity with space, time, and sustenance as they work on a scholarly or creative project. The retreat will be held during Spring Break in 3 different timeframes (2 days, 3 days, and 5 days).

Library Workshops

Cover various topics related to inquiry, learning, research, and creativity. All workshops are free and open to students, staff, and faculty, and most are open to the public.

Hypothesis Partnership Workshops

Rowan has a partnership with Hypothesis, which provides us with free workshops. Hypothesis is a social annotation tool installed directly in your learning management system (LMS). Adding Hypothesis to readings in your course supports student success by placing active discussion right on top of readings, enabling students and teachers to add comments and start conversations in the margins of texts.
