Calling for applicants to participate in Faculty Learning Communities
Posted: December 12, 2018
Application Deadline: Monday, December 17, 2018
The University of North Georgia is participating in the Chancellor's Learning Scholars program initiated by the USG to provide additional faculty development opportunities across state campuses.
Four faculty members from 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 were chosen as Chancellor's Learning Scholars (CLS) and will lead Faculty Learning Communities (FLC) on the Cumming, Dahlonega, and Oconee campuses.
FLCs are designed to give small groups of faculty (typically 8-10) the opportunity to engage in sustained, meaningful conversations about teaching and learning with supportive colleagues from across campus for at least one semester. Members will explore areas of interest with the goal of incorporating changes into their teaching practice.
The 正澳门六合彩开奖结果 groups will be led, respectively, by Dr. Ellen Best, Dr. Dan Cabaniss, Dr. Tom Cooper, and Dr. Lauren Johnson.
If you would like to participate in one of the FLCs, applications are currently being accepted (see the table below for more information).
