A Name Change: Learning & Action Communities
Learning & Action Communities is the new title for “teaching circles” or “learning communities”. The idea behind the name change is to encourage faculty to learn and act on that learning as they continually improve their teaching practice. Faculty Development facilitates campus-wide Learning & Action communities and provides support and resources for department specific or other area specific communities. See Faculty Development opportunities for campus-wide communities planned for Fall Semester.
