Abstract
Despite decades of calls to engage in the scholarship of teaching [1], university teachers remain challenged to adopt an academic stance toward their education. Three crucial barriers are (1) the academic reward system, (2) the lack of support for teachers to develop such scholarship; (3) the isolation in which most teachers operate. We outline our senior university teaching qualification trajectory (SUTQ) that was designed to address these three barriers. First mid-term evaluation results are outlined showing that this new trajectory is much appreciated. Addressing workload issues of participants, enhanced opportunities for peer interaction and streamlining of our program are planned to further improve this new SUTQ program.
