Teaching 2020: Hindsight or Foresight?

In partnership with the Division of Teaching Excellence and Innovation, the SOH is sponsoring a Faculty Learning Community for a second year. We invite faculty at all ranks and post-doctoral scholars to engage in reading, conversations, and practical applications of teaching.

Our community will discuss common teaching challenges, share tips and approaches that have worked in our classes, offer supportive feedback on questions or draft teaching materials, and explore Scholarship on Teaching and Learning (SoTL) as an intellectual and research field. The group—or subgroups within the Community—can decide to provide peer feedback on course materials, organize teaching observations, develop research, or introduce other activities, including reading and discussion. Active participation in the FLC can constitute part of your teaching materials for the merit process.

Some of the members of the 18-19 FLC will continue to pursue research on student reading, as we also engage in new conversations this year; new members are welcome to join in on the reading research/conversations.

The SOH FLC will meet monthly for 1.5 hours during the course of the 2019-2020 academic year. Refreshments provided.

What is a Faculty Learning Community? An FLC is a small group of interdisciplinary faculty who work together on a shared goal related to teaching. The group decides what they will focus on and how they will achieve their goal.

The SOH FLC seeks to create new connections across units in the school and deepen the conversations we’re already having about teaching, enriching those conversations and our teaching practices by engaging with relevant scholarship.
