Programs for Faculty
The programs and services listed below are the result of innovative collaborations among Brandeis faculty, staff, and students that align with the Brandeis University Learning Goals, Core Learning Goals, Core Values, and The Framework for the Future. We hope you see something below that excites you and in which you'd like to participate.
That being said, we're always excited to develop new programs and services to support you. If there's ever anything else you'd like to do, please don't hesitate to reach out and let us know!
New Faculty Orientation (NFO) is a week-long program in August to welcome new faculty to Brandeis. It offers opportunities to meet colleagues, explore effective teaching strategies, and tour learning spaces.
Faculty Learning Communities (FLCs) are groups of faculty who meet approximately every other week throughout the semester to discuss teaching and learning issues, inspire one another, and make teaching a communal act (rather than a solitary one).
We invite all members of the Brandeis teaching community to join us and participate in all of our workshops, and other events, all of which are listed on our Events page.
In a Pedagogical Partnership, a faculty member chooses a student partner to work with them on a course they teach throughout the semester. The student partner sits in on their faculty member’s course and meets with them weekly to provide feedback from a student point of view. The CTL provides training and support for both the student partners and the participating faculty members throughout the semester.
The Justice League is an informal community of practice for Brandeis faculty who are committed to supporting one another as we cultivate equitable, inclusive, and accessible courses that inspire deep and meaningful learning for our students.
We meet 4-5 times per semester, visit each other's classes for inspiration, feedback, and support, and work on other project in support of fostering inclusive excellence on campus. Join us!
