The Early Career Faculty Community of Practice
|
Written by Rita Gura, Assistant Professor, Health Careers and Traci Wessel, Instructor, Health Careers
The Early Career Faculty Community of Practice was formed in Spring 2018 for non-tenured faculty members with the goal of enhancing the initial years on campus through a supportive cohort experience. We have aligned our strategic goals with the formal faculty assessment process to complete activities that promote instructional, institutional, and community service as well as promote professional development.

You may have heard something about a collaborative project related to equity taking place between Harper and our sender school districts.

This spring semester, we will host three focused workshops to build a lexicon supported by research and contextual examples to promote understanding of inequalities experienced by students throughout all levels of their education.
