Learning Communities

Newer Faculty Learning Communities.

The purpose of this group is to allow our new faculty to share teaching/learning ideas and form interdisciplinary professional (as well as social) bonds.The activities of the Newer Faculty Learning Community will be formulated during the first meeting based on the interests of the participants. Possible activities include creating a professional development plan, sharing teaching/learning triumphs and tribulations, and interdisciplinary project.

The Center for Teaching and Learning is also in the process of creating a learning community that will focus on the issue of diversity and how instructors can integrate diversity concepts into pedagogical and curriculum enhancements.
