Request for Proposals
2013-2014 Faculty Learning Community Program
The Scholarship of Teaching Office (SoTO) in FAU’s Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) is soliciting proposals for Faculty Learning Communities (FLCs) for the 2013-2014 academic year.
FLCs are small communities consisting of 8-12 faculty and/or professional staff members who work to enhance teaching and learning at FAU. FLC participants come from all colleges and campuses of the university. Anyone who teaches at the university, or who directly supports teaching and learning in a professional role at the university, is eligible to participate. FLCs meet on a regular basis and carry the expectation that participants will:
- Apply what they learn in concrete ways to an individual project their courses or in their support of courses
- Evaluate the impact of what they’ve implemented
- Share their results with other members of the FAU community.
Current Faculty Learning Communities (FLCs) for Fall 2012-Spring 2013
Five new Faculty Learning Communities (FLCs) will commence in fall 2012 through spring 2013. FLCs typically consist of 6-12 faculty members from multiple departments/colleges who meet on a regular basis throughout the academic year to learn and share ideas on a topic of mutual interest relating to teaching pedagogy and student learning. FLCs carry the expectation that the ideas participants discuss will be implemented in concrete ways in their classes and that participants will share their results with other members of the FAU community. The current FLCs include:
- Developing Dual-Numbered Upper Division Undergraduate/Lower Division Graduate Courses, Daniel T. de Lill – Facilitator
- Getting the Wizard of Oz into the Undergraduate Curriculum, Stephen Engle – Facilitator
- Participating in the Distinction Through Discovery QEP: (Re) Visioning Undergraduate Curricula to Promote Scholarly Inquiry and Research , Jennifer Peluso - Facilitator
- Taking your Classroom into the Field: Co-Curricular Studies, Jeffrey Morton – Facilitator
- Teaching Online Courses for Creativity and Critical Thinking, Carol Gould – Facilitator
