Faculty Learning Communities

Faculty Learning Communities (FLCs) are small groups of faculty and instructors who meet regularly throughout the year about a specific topic related to teaching and learning.

FLCs provide opportunities to:

• engage in active, collaborative discussions across disciplines in a supportive environment
• learn about and implement innovative teaching techniques
• explore teaching topics in greater depth than a workshop permits
• collaborate on scholarship and research related to teaching and learning

What to Expect

FLCs are different from CITL’s other programs and services, so here are a few hints for what to expect from the experience:

• You will meet 4-6 times during the year
• Session dates and times will be determined based on participant availability
• Each FLC will be limited to 12 participants to promote active participation
• FLCs are open to faculty, instructors, and teaching staff (SPS and Civil Service); unfortunately, FLCs are not open to graduate teaching assistants at this time
• CITL staff are organizing and facilitating the community but will generally not be presenting
• FLC meetings will be held online or in-person with a livestreaming option
