FACULTY LEARNING COMMUNITIES
About Faculty Learning Communities
SMARTEACHING Schedule
Faculty Learning Communities are peer-led groups of 8–10 faculty, staff, and graduate students who meet monthly throughout the year to explore a topic or project connected to pedagogical innovation (teaching + learning), faculty development, or publicly-engaged scholarship. During the 2020-21AY, the P3 will sponsor two Faculty Learning Communities, providing administrative and technical support to organizers while each group sets its own agenda, goals, and activity for the year.
Faculty Learning Communities function to:
-
Stimulate collaboration and foster experiential learning environments;
-
Encourage professional development with a peer-support model for learning and action;
-
Bridge disciplinary boundaries and support community-building among instructors across the university
Facilitators will receive a professional development / research stipend of $1,000. Once this year's communities are selected, we will issue a broader call for participants.
Eligibility & Expectations: All Rutgers-Newark faculty, staff and PhD students are eligible to participate.
The application to propose an FLC for the 2020-21 AY is now closed.
