Faculty Learning Communities

PTSP has been invited to join the National Faculty Learning Communities Consortium by Milton D. Cox, University Director, Teaching Effectiveness Programs at Miami University, Ohio.

A faculty learning community (FLC), as defined by the consortium, is “a cross-disciplinary faculty group of five or more members engaging in an active, collaborative, yearlong program with a curriculum about enhancing teaching and learning and with frequent seminars and activities that provide learning, development, interdisciplinarity, the scholarship of teaching and learning, and community building.”

The concept of faculty learning communities with its focus on enhancing and assessing undergraduate learning, fits nicely with the PTSP Initiative on Engaged Learning. Developing FLCs transforms CU-Boulder’s campus culture for learning, by enhancing student learning as a result of the enhanced teaching of faculty participating in the FLCs.
