Sustaining Student Voices in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

A Carnegie Academy Campus Program Cluster

~Working to imagine education as a learning eco-system where all members of a learning community live in a dynamic, interactive relationship with each other~

~ Working together to bring students into a dialogue on learning as co-inquirers into the scholarship of teaching and learning~


Our Purpose

The cluster seeks to develop a learning system that is informed by the scholarship of teaching and learning and that embeds the student voice throughout all institutional processes in order to enhance learning and validate all learners as co-inquirers.

Institutional Structures
Various structures within five very different institutions of post-secondary education support our mission.

Teaching-Learning Bridges

We chose our cluster logo - a bridge - to remind us of our commitment to the reciprocal nature of the teaching-learning partnership. Anyone can lead us across. We can walk side-by-side. And, like the scholarship of teaching and learning, bridges span a wide expanse of needs and connect us to our terrain and to each other.

Collaboration: The Center of Our Work

We - students, faculty, administrators, and staff - collaborate actually and virtually on campus and across the country. We are planning a video representation of our work to assist other institutions that wish to increase the level of student involvement.

Facilitating Cluster Collaboration
Semi-annual AAHE convenings, our institutional structures, and other Carnegie Campus Clusters facilitate our mission. Please check back for updates.
