    For those going to the Academy:
    AOM New Orleans Workshop: The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning: From
    Theory to Practice and Back

    Saturday, 1-4 p.m., La Salle Room, Ritz Carlton Hotel.

    Ernest Boyer stirred up a lot of debate about what constitutes Scholarship
    with his book on the Scholarship of Teaching. Today the controversy has
    settled into a movement to encourage faculty to approach their teaching with
    the same rigor and curiosity that they bring to their disciplinary work. By
    viewing teaching as an area of inquiry individual faculty can make
    data-based decisions about their classes and how to help their students.

    The workshop will focus on three themes:

    The Scholarship of Teaching, Learning and Education. Roy J. Lewicki, Ohio
    State University and outgoing editor of Academy of Management Learning and
    Education, will discuss the importance of pedagogical scholarship in the
    organizational sciences. He will use articles from recent issues of AMLE to
    discuss how faculty can conduct better scholarship on teaching and learning
    practices in management education.

    Scholarly Teaching. James Bailey, George Washington University and incoming
    editor of Academy of Management Learning and Education, will discuss a
    mind-frame for approaching teaching with the same rigor and curiosity with
    which one approaches research. He will talk about methods that can be used
    to approach teaching in a reflective manner. Tools such as teaching
    portfolios, teaching evaluation, and instructional diagnoses will be
    discussed.

    The Carnegie Perspective. John Miller, Bucknell University, will discuss the
    work of the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education and their pioneering
    work on developing the scholarship of teaching as a national movement.

    This workshop is co-sponsored by the Academy of Management Teaching
    Committee and Academy of Management Learning and Education. For information,
