Faculty Learning Communities
The Provost and Center for Faculty Excellence support a pilot Faculty Learning Communities Program at Ithaca College. A proposal is linked at right. It was not yet fully implemented, however.
- What are they? a facilitated faculty group with a scholarly purpose.
- What kind of purpose?
To support individual teaching projects toward scholarship of teaching and learning;
To explore an institutional question with a product that is institutional and also scholarly.
- Why would I do it?
I'm doing it already (trying something in a course; engaging in an institutional conversation;)
It will count: the Provost and Dean will notice and I'll try for a presentation or publication.
- What are topics? See description on the right.
- What should I do now?
Attend the May Institute, particularly Wednesday May 20.
