Wisconsin Teaching Fellows and Scholars (WTFS) is a signature program of the Universities of Wisconsin. Each year two instructors from each UW campus are selected to represent their institution. Participants spend one year in professional community, and they design and carry out individual scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) projects that are presented at the OPID Spring Conference. This year UWGB had two stellar representatives: Heather Kaminski and Taskia A. Khan. Professor Khan compared two traditional assignments with one that followed Transparency in Learning and Teaching (TILT) principles by evaluating students’ perceptions of clarity, relevance, engagement, confidence, and learning. Professor Kaminski examined the impact on governmental accounting students of engaging in the scaffolded, high-impact practice of creating an Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for local government agencies.
