The Teaching & Learning Forum is happy to provide resources to faculty, but we think that most of what faculty need is interaction with one another. In this spirit, we're supporting Professional Learning Communities, or PLCs -- but we don't really care what you call them.
These groups are similar to book groups, but they are focused on specific themes, collaborations, or questions. TLF will support the group by purchasing reading materials, lunches, or other resources. If you have a particular group you would like to see formed, contact us. Or, take a look at some of the groups that have been established and contact a representative from the group to join in. Each group has a page on our wiki where they can document what they're doing.
Some of the current groups include:
- Faculty Writing Initiative
- Technology and Education
- Issues in Science Education
- Community Based Learning
- Interdisciplinarity and General Education
- Moms in Academia
- New Faculty
