Faculty Learning Communities (FLCs) provide an opportunity for Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ University instructors to collaborate with their peers to explore topics of interest related to teaching and learning.

Most FLCs include faculty from different disciplines, which helps to foster discussion that includes a broad range of backgrounds and experiences. Learning communities typically meet for a semester, often have a stipend associated with completion and sharing learning, and participants work toward completing goals related to the community topic.

In the spring semester, three FLCs will be open to OHIO instructors and applications are currently being accepted.

Upcoming Faculty Learning Communities

Facilitating Student Career Readiness will help faculty enhance confidence and skills in leading career-related conversations with students. The FLC will encourage participants to actively engage students in career-focused discussions and activities and to collaborate with institutional stakeholders engaged in career readiness work at OHIO. 

Alternative Grading: Rethinking Assessment will explore and critically evaluate alternative grading practices, such as Specifications Grading, Contract Grading and Ungrading, with the goal of fostering equitable and student-centered assessment approaches. Faculty will explore and develop innovative, student-centered grading approaches that prioritize learning, proficiency and meaningful feedback over traditional grading models that focus on the grade rather than learning.  

Through Character Education Across Disciplines will convene a community of faculty across colleges and disciplines to unite, cultivate and assess the landscape of character education work at Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ University.
