The Adjunct Faculty Learning Community (AFLC) is designed to address pedagogical questions that adjunct faculty may have, and to help them meet fellow adjunct educators. The AFLC will also provide opportunities for adjunct faculty to reflect on what they have learned about teaching thus far, their strengths and areas for growth, and who they are as instructors.
Program learning outcomes
After the FLC, participants will be able to:
- Engage in discussions about teaching and learning with fellow adjunct facultyÂ
- Identify key pedagogical concepts
- Apply key pedagogical concepts
- Evaluate feedback on their teaching and areas for improvement
- Attend four cohort meetings. These meetings will be held ca. every three weeks during the semester. Specific dates and times will be set based on the availability of cohort participants. These sessions will provide an opportunity for participants to share what they have learned through the activities of the AFLC and build community.Â
- Attend at least two CTL workshops during the semester. A workshop schedule can be found on the CTL’s events page.
- Have a Mid-Semester Assessment (MAP) conducted for a course they teach. Information on MAPs can be found on the MAP webpage.
- Engage in four asynchronous learning opportunities (ca. 1h total each) to prepare for the cohort meetings. Activities include watching videos, reading articles or blog posts, and listening to podcasts on pedagogical topics. In addition, participants may be asked to participate in reflective activities to summarize their thoughts and ideas on the materials.
Each participant who completes all parts for the AFLC will receive a $300 stipend. To apply, complete this application form by 9:00am on January 24th, 2025.
