About Faculty Learning Communities
2024-2025 FLC Application

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 2024-25AY, 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 2024-24 AY is now closed.

FLC Description

​

Digital credentials, interchangeably known as microcredentials, take a variety of forms and they are quickly growing as workforce and career development tools. Our FLC is about learning how to create cost-free microcredentials for RU-N undergraduates (academic credit or co-curricular). We are particularly interested in microcredentials that represent a verifiable module of skill and knowledge that has value to an employer or industry (i.e. industry-aligned, competency-based microcredentials).
