What Is A Faculty Learning Community (FLC)?
Faculty Learning Communities (FLCs) are ongoing discussion groups that allow MSU colleagues to gather from across departments in order to discuss and develop their skills around a specific teaching and learning topic. Each FLC is comprised of 6-12 faculty, academic staff and academic administrators, who have an interest in and commitment to attending discussion sessions on a regular basis throughout the academic year. Each FLC is led by two facilitators from among the ranks of MSU faculty members, academic administrators, and/or academic staff. We would like at least one of the facilitators to be a faculty member. Are you interested in starting your own Faculty Learning Community? You can download the proposal form and 2010-2011 Guidelines (both in .doc format) and submit to Eron Drake, Director of Faculty and Instructional Development Programs, at facdevel@msu.edu. Please visit our Semester Schedule page to discover the current FLC topics for 2009-2010. Origin of the Faculty Learning
Faculty Learning Communities (FLC) are usually composed of approximately 6 – 12 faculty and requires a collegial commitment to meet, work, collaborate with colleagues on the FLC, and disseminate the outcomes of the FLC’s work to Georgia Southern faculty. Each FCL is lead by a facilitator selected by the FLC from among its own members, determines its own goals and objectives, and how it will disseminate the results of its research, application, and work to campus colleagues. Membership in a FLC is for the entire academic year.
