Awakening (to all of our SoTL stories)
Teaching & Learning Inquiry

Recommendation
This example showcases the many forms that reflective writing in SoTL can take. Written in the form of a poem, the piece highlights the author's personal reflections after participating in a workshop at the 2018 International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (ISSOTL) conference entitled "How to Tell a True SoTL Story." The content of the poem encourages others to share their stories in ways that are authentic to them.
Let’s welcome different, varied, messy stories,
Take risks, share moments of struggle,
Be bold and courageous, personal and vulnerable,
Create, transform, reflect, perform,
See beauty and tragedy,
Accepting our humanity in the academy.
