Welcome to the Institute for Teaching and Learning’s Scholarship pages.
At the University of Manchester we define scholarship as:
“Evidence based systematic practice that positively impacts student outcomes or experience and is disseminated for critical review and, where appropriate adoption by others. Scholarship can include the scholarship of teaching and learning, or discipline based educational or pedagogic research, as well as the development, application and synthesis of disciplinary knowledge to inform teaching (e.g. research-informed teaching).”
The tiles below provide resources to help anyone involved in scholarship to understand further what it is and how to do it, as well as exemplars of the scholarship UoM colleagues on Teaching and Scholarship contracts are involved in.

Around a quarter of our colleagues are teaching and scholarship and we want to create a space for all those interested in developing teaching and scholarship to belong in a UoM Teaching and Scholarship Network.
This will be led by Hannah Cobb and Jenni Rose as well as a steering group from across the university including Eleanor Aspey, Helen Baxter, Elaine Clark, Duncan Hull, Karen Lander, Jen McBride, Rachel Parker-Strak, Thomas Rodgers Reimala Sivalingam, Rachel Studd, Lisa Taylor and Nick Weise.
We aim to foster a supportive community, and offer space to share challenges. Join us for a range of events (both in-person and online), connect with fellow educators through our dedicated email list, and contribute to shaping the future of teaching excellence at UoM. Whether you're a teaching and scholarship expert or just starting out our the Teaching and Scholarship Network welcomes you.
