Greetings Colleagues,<\/p>\n
I am pleased to announce that the Center for Teaching and Learning is seeking individual professional faculty members\u00a0or small teams of professional faculty members (2-3 people)<\/em> from across campus to participate in our spring term\u00a0Professional Faculty Learning Community (PFLC).<\/strong> This learning community will focus on implementing the well-known and widely adopted\u00a0Backwards Design Model proposed by Wiggins and McTighe (2005)<\/a>. In doing so, members will make progress toward: (1) developing or refining student learning outcomes, (2) identifying and developing appropriate ways to measure student learning, and (3) creating or redesigning programs or services that support learning and assessment.\u00a0Additional important information about the PFLC and its curriculum is in the attached document.<\/p>\n If you have an interest in developing learning outcomes for your program or unit or revising those that already exist, developing an assessment plan, and rethinking your current practices I hope you will consider participating in this working community of colleagues.<\/p>\n The PFLC will accommodate approximately 12-15 professional faculty colleagues from across campus. Each learner will actively participate in four three-hour \u201cclasses\u201d during fall term for a total of 12 hours (see dates and times below):<\/p>\n Class #1: Wednesday, April 11, 10:00am-1:00pm (lunch included all days) If you are interested in participating in the spring Professional Faculty Learning Community<\/strong> <\/strong>and<\/em><\/strong> <\/strong>you are able to attend all of the dates above, please complete the attached<\/strong> <\/strong>brief<\/em><\/strong> <\/strong>application<\/strong> <\/strong>and send\u00a0to me directly via email or campus mail<\/strong>.
