This program is designed for faculty who have been at UC four years or less. During these virtual sessions, we’ll explore building your network of teaching support, evidence-based practices you can incorporate in your teaching and give and receive feedback to peers about teaching. The Community of Practice on Teaching as Junior Faculty meets four times a year at the beginning and end of each semester, and we welcome you to attend as many sessions as you are able. The first session in the beginning of the semester will cover what's working in your course, your struggles, and how to obtain early feedback from students. In the last session at the end of the semester, we'll share what went well, what needed to be adjusted, and additional changes you want to implement moving forward.
By the end of the session, participants will be able to:
- Identify key teaching resources to support them in their role as a faculty member;
- Cultivate a critically reflective practice around teaching; and
- Build community with other junior faculty across the institution.
