Not only does traditional academic culture confine most academics to disciplinary silos, but promotion and tenure requirements encourage faculty members to conduct SoTL work “off the side of their desk,” if at all (Boyer, 1990; Dobbins, 2008; Webb, Wong, & Hubball, 2013) . This paper shares some of the findings from a recent study that investigated what constrained educational leaders’ understanding of SoTL while enrolled in a SoTL Leadership program at a Canadian research-intensive university. The paper will also explore implications for the support and enrichment of educational leadership.  \nLes leaders novices en Avancement des connaissances en enseignement et en apprentissage (ACEA) qui font la transition et passent de l’enseignement intellectuel à l’ACEA puis au leadership en ACEA font face à de nombreux défis dans l’enseignement supérieur. Non seulement la culture universitaire traditionnelle confine la plupart des professeurs dans des cloisonnements disciplinaires, mais lesexigences de la promotion et de la permanence encouragent les professeurs à mener du travail d’ACEA « sur le coin de leur bureau », si même ils le font (Boyer, 1990; Dobbins, 2008; Webb, Wong & Hubball, 2013). Cet article partage certains des résultats obtenus suite à une étude récente qui a enquêté sur ce qui limite la compréhension des questions touchant l’ACEA des leaders en éducation alors qu’ils sont inscrits dans un programme de leadership en ACEA dans une université canadienne centrée sur la recherche. L’article va également explorer les implications du soutien et de l’enrichissement du leadership éducationnel.  \nKeywords  \nSoTL, leadership, constraints, higher education, faculty development; ACEA, leadership, contraintes, enseignement supérieur, formation professorale  \nCover Page Footnote  \nThe author wishes to acknowledge the participants at ISSoTL 2017 who offered support and valuable feedback for this paper.  \nThis research paper/rapport de recherche is available in The Canadian Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning:  \n[https://doi.org/10.5206/cjsotl-rcacea.2019.2.8173](https://doi.org/10.5206/cjsotl-rcacea.2019.2.8173)  \nThe demands ofa research-intensive university (RIU), with a traditional workload structure of 40% research, 40% teaching, 20% service, places the institutional needs in disciplinary scholarship and service over teaching and learning scholarship. Often, when studying for a career in academia, most graduate students are trained in the methodologies and discourses of their discipline. Additionally, there may no be formalized support for faculty members as they attempt to fulfill their teaching responsibilities. As such, there is an inherent mismatch between the responsibilities that most faculty members undertake on a daily basis and the training that they received as they earned their highest degree (Shulman, 2000) .
