Apply to Facilitate or Co-facilitate a Faculty Learning Community


Faculty Learning Communities (FLCs) provide a deep dive into a single subject over a year. FLCs are faculty-led communities of six to 12 members designed to foster communication across disciplines and drive innovation in teaching and learning. Members spend the year reading, researching, discussing, and exploring solutions to an issue or question at the heart of their community’s inquiry.

 

CITL invites all full-time instructional faculty to facilitate or co-facilitate a Faculty Learning Community during the 2024-2025 academic year. 

 

Applications for new FLCs are open now through May 3rd.
