This is the first article of a two-part series on the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL). This article provides an introductory discussion of SoTL: what it is, what the science shows, and its centrality to higher education in the 21st century. In the second article (due to be published...
What Are the QIs, and Why Were They Developed? The Quality Indicator (QI) self-assessment tool QI Questionnaire and Action Plan was created to help academic and clinical programs develop a shared understanding of and vision for successful integration of research and clinical practice. The QIs are not standards; the tool is intended...
With the implementation date for the new Standards for the Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology fast approaching (September 2014), the Council for Clinical Certification in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CFCC) would like to review and highlight some of the major changes in certification standards between the 2005 and...
Educational programs in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) have at their core a dual and complementary mission: (1) to teach fundamental knowledge about normal and disordered communication and (2) to teach and assess clinical skills. Clinical placements in ‘real-world’ settings such as schools, clinics, hospitals, and nursing homes traditionally have...
During the 1960s, Everett Rogers (2003) studied the patterns of individual farmers as they faced a series of novel decisions related to pesticides and hybrid seeds. While farming seems far removed from the practices of speech-language pathology and audiology, the principles regarding the dissemination and adoption of innovative ideas and...
A variety of terms have been used to draw attention to the cooperation needed among stakeholders involved in providing interprofessional practice (IPP), and therefore to the need for interprofessional education (IPE) to prepare the future workforce (Odegard, 2006).

Historically, university training clinics were established as the primary clinical training units of departments that offer graduate degree programs in speech-language pathology and audiology. These clinics serve as a valuable source of clinical exposure for students to clients of a wide variety of ages and disorders. Perhaps more important, they...
Health care reform is affecting our discipline. Four prominent themes provide a window into what’s to come—Outcomes Measurement, Learning Systems, Patient-Centered Care, and Transparency. Though the full impact of health care reform is not yet clear, it is important to consider the factors that are driving change, as mapping this...
The term culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) encompasses a diverse set of groups and individuals. Given the rapid increase in numbers of individuals from CLD populations, it is critical that the research base in communication sciences and disorders keep pace with the growth in that population. Clearly, it has not. I often...
Magnificent Era of Synchronicity The surge in global synergies over the past few years has increased the visibility of our field with globally focused research, education, professional opportunities, and service presentations at professional conferences for numerous Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD)-related organizations. Student demand for global health experiences is growing,...
