Faculty Learning Communities

Fall 2023 Faculty Learning Communities

The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) would like to invite you to join a group of faculty for regular, biweekly discussions about teaching and learning. In these groups, called Faculty Learning Communities (FLCs), we take on important pedagogical issues of your choosing by discussing readings and sharing our own experiences.

The FLC program is open to anyone who teaches full-time, whether on a contract or tenured/tenure-track. The program involves involves three components:

• 80-minute in-person meetings every two weeks (starting the week of September 11);
• peer teaching observations; and
• short, selected readings from Learning That Matters (2020).

In recognition of how important FLCs are in the University’s mission of pursuing academic excellence, participants will receive a $600 stipend upon completion of the program.

For more information, please email Marty Samuels (msamuels@brandeis.edu). 

What are the advantages to joining an FLC?

FLCs can:

• break the isolation in which most teaching usually happens;
• provide new ideas about teaching and learning;
• create a supportive environment in which faculty can investigate, question, explore, and apply new classroom techniques;
• develop a community among faculty members who can inspire and support one another;
• discuss scholarship on teaching and learning; and
• challenge yourself to grow as a teacher and life-long learner.

We hope you will be interested in participating and look forward to hearing from you!
