This document is so helpful in supporting change in this direction. Our
school recently adopted the Boyer model of scholarship into our Senate T&P
standards, just for this reason. However, it has become clear that there is
a great need to educate our Senate as to both what the model is and to the
need for it. This document will be helpful.
For those of you who aren't familiar with the Boyer model, it identifies 4
domains of scholarship (discover, integration, teaching, and application).
Riley et al have added a 5th, professional service. For a practice
discipline, certainly the scholarships of application and professional
service cover the kinds of activities involved with a service-learning
approach to education.
I've included references for Boyer and Riley et al below. Both American and
Canadian accreditation bodies have adopted the model and I've also included
references for their documents.

> The Commission on Community-Engaged Scholarship in the Health
> Professions released today a national strategy for closing
> the gap between the promise of health professional schools as
> community-engaged institutions and the reality of how faculty
> members are typically judged and rewarded. The Commission's
> report, "Linking Scholarship and Communities," contains
> detailed recommendations for action by health professional
> schools and their national associations that can support
> community-engaged scholarship and cites promising practices
> that illustrate their implementation.
>
> Convened by Community-Campus Partnerships for Health with
> funding from the WK Kellogg Foundation, the Commission has
> taken a leadership role in creating a more supportive culture
> and reward system for health professional faculty involved in
> community-based participatory research, service-learning and
> other forms of community-engaged scholarship in which faculty
> members connect their scholarship with community needs and
> concerns. A list of Commission members appears below.
>
> Over the past decade, a steady stream of national
> organizations have been recommending the community engagement
> of health professional schools as an essential strategy for
> improving health professional education, achieving a diverse
> health workforce, increasing access to health care, and
> eliminating health disparities. Recruiting and retaining
> diverse community-engaged faculty members is essential to
> developing and sustaining the community partnerships that
> form the foundation for community-based teaching, research,
> and service. Despite the expansion of community engagement in
> the health professions, a troubling issue has arisen in many
> schools: Roles and expectations of faculty are changing, but
> the faculty review, promotion, and tenure system has not kept
> pace. Addressing this problem is the central focus of the
> Commission on Community-Engaged Scholarship in the Health
> Professions and its report released today.
>
> "The W.K. Kellogg Foundation supports efforts to acknowledge
> and provide incentives for health professional schools to
> become and remain engaged with their communities," said
> Marguerite M. Johnson, Vice President for Programs at the WK
> Kellogg Foundation. "We believe authentic partnerships
> between health professional schools and communities will move
> this country closer to changes in the health care system that
> will result in significant improvements in access to health
> care, a more diversified health workforce, and the
> elimination of ethnic and racial disparities in health.
> Changes must be made in our systems and institutions to
> support all forms of community-engaged scholarship."
>
> The report examines a number of critical challenges that
> community-engaged scholarship poses to the predominant
> paradigm of faculty incentives in health professional
> schools. These include the tendency of faculty peers to
> classify community-engaged work as service rather than to
> consider the factors that might qualify the work as genuine
> scholarship, the under valuing of the role of products of
> scholarship that are not in the form of peer-reviewed journal
> articles, and the limited role of community partners in
> faculty review, promotion and tenure processes.
>
> The Commission recommends that:
> 1. Health professional schools should adopt and promote a
> definition of scholarship that includes and values
> community-engaged scholarship. 2. Health professional schools
> should adopt review, promotion, and tenure policies and
> procedures that value community-engaged scholarship. 3.
> Health professional schools should ensure that community
> partners are meaningfully involved in review, promotion, and
> tenure processes for community-engaged faculty members. 4.
> Health professional schools should educate the members of
> review, promotion, and tenure committees about
> community-engaged scholarship and prepare them to understand
> and apply the review, promotion, and tenure guidelines in the
> review of community-engaged faculty. 5. Health professional
> schools should invest in the recruitment and retention of
> community-engaged faculty. 6. Health professional schools
> should advocate for increased extramural support for
> community-engaged scholarship. 7. Health professional schools
> should take a leadership role on their university campuses to
> initiate or further campuswide support for community-engaged
> scholarship. 8. National associations of health professional
> schools should:
> - Adopt and promote a definition of scholarship within the
> profession that explicitly includes community-engaged scholarship
> - Support member schools that recognize and reward
> community-engaged scholarship
> - Advocate for increased extramural support for
> community-engaged scholarship 9. Recognizing that many
> products of community-engaged scholarship are not currently
> peer reviewed, a national board should be established to
> facilitate a peer review process.
>
> The Commission stresses that recognizing and rewarding
> community-engaged scholarship in the health professions will
> require changes not only in the wording of policies and
> procedures but, even more importantly, in the culture of
> institutions and professions. Leadership is needed from both
> academic institutions and the many external stakeholders that
> influence their values and priorities, including but not
> limited to government, philanthropy, peer-reviewed journals,
> accrediting bodies, and the communities in which they reside
> and work. As a starting point, the Commission suggests that
> health professional school administrators, faculty, and
> members of review, promotion, and tenure committees review
> this report in relation to the mission, vision, values, and
> policies of their institutions and professions.
>
> In announcing its report, the Commission also applauds the
> recent formation of the Community-Engaged Scholarship for
> Health Collaborative. Organized by Community-Campus
> Partnerships for Health with funding from the US Department
> of Education's Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary
> Education, the Collaborative is a group of health
> professional schools that aims to significantly change
> faculty review, promotion and tenure policies and practices
> to recognize and reward community-engaged scholarship - in
> the participating schools and their peers across the country.
> The Collaborative is already working to implement many of the
> Commission's recommendations.
>
> The Commission is eager to work with health professional
> schools, their national associations, and other interested
> stakeholders to support the implementation of its
> recommendations, and welcomes inquiries and suggestions on
> how best to facilitate such support.
