    Experiencing the World through Park's International Students "Hola." "Bonjour." "Ciao." "Paing Kom." This is how one instructor at Park greeted her Fall 2022 international students from Argentina, Cameroon, Italy, and Micronesia. Currently, Park proudly serves over 530 international students, which is illustrated in the picture below of the Parkville cafeteria that displays 70 flags from our students' home countries.   With such a large, culturally diverse student population who are becoming accustomed to our practices, mastering the English language, and diligently working to do well in their courses, it is essential we foster that sense of belonging and use instructional techniques to support their success. In doing so, we are afforded the opportunity to experience the world as we learn from our students' experiences, traditions, and their journey to Park.   This edition offers a variety of resources to help our international students succeed. We hope you enjoy this issue, and if you have other potential topics you would like the newsletter to focus on, email us at innovate@park.edu.

    Student Learning & Engagement through Storytelling Welcome back! We hope you enjoyed your summer and are ready for the 2022-2023 academic year. As you continue to prepare for a successful first week of class, and the rest of the term, we would like to share a creative instructional strategy that can be easily implemented into the classroom - storytelling. "The purpose of storytelling is not to tell you how to think, but to give you questions to think upon" (Brandon Sanderson). Using this technique is a great way to build rapport with your students, help them connect to the course content, and think critically. Each of us has a story to tell, as do our students!Are you ready to create a new story with your students this fall with storytelling in the classroom?  If so, we'd love for you to share your stories with us! We hope you enjoy this issue, and if you have other potential topics you would like the newsletter to focus on, email us at innovate@park.edu.

    Highlight Your Evidence-Based Practices by Showcasing Your ScholarshipYou're demonstrating innovative teaching and learning practices in the classroom; it's time for your work to shine by you sharing your effective instructional strategies through academic writing. Chick (n.d.) defines the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) as “a synthesis of teaching, learning, and research in higher education that aims to bring a scholarly lens - the curiosity, the inquiry, the rigor, the disciplinary variety - to what happens in the classroom.” We already assess our teaching and students’ learning in the classroom; SoTL takes it a step further by helping you share that information through scholarly avenues. This edition offers a range of SoTL resources whether SoTL is being introduced to you or you are an expert in the area. We hope you enjoy this issue, and if you have other potential topics you would like the newsletter to focus on, email us at innovate@park.edu.
