Every year we offer and promote educational development opportunities for new instructors in part funded by an endowment by the John P. Ellbogen Foundation.
Meet other new faculty from a variety of disciplines, discuss best practices in teaching and learning, share resources and attend social events. Past participants have found these learning communities valuable for improving their teaching practices as well as creating community with others. This fall, participants will meet in small groups at regularly scheduled times. We will discuss the book How Learning Works (books will be provided), have guest speakers on topics in teaching and learning, and more. Participants who attend four of the five scheduled meetings will be eligible for a small stipend. In the spring, those who are interested will be placed in small groups to participate in self-directed peer mentoring communities.
Please note we are offering the option to attend meetings in-person and online. Our preference would be for participants to attend in-person but understand if this is not possible.
Registration Deadline: September 2. Participants will be notified of group assignments by September 6.
When:
In-person - Wednesdays | 3:00-4:30p | September 14, October 5, October 26, November 16, December 7
