Congratulations! You have been selected to lead a faculty learning community on your campus! But now what? What does that mean? How do I find participants? What do we do during our meetings? What is it like to lead a virtual FLC?
This year the USG is developing a brief professional development program to help faculty support the development of growth mindsets among their students.
This information session provides background and details on Regents Advisory Committees, expectations, and best practices for conducting their work.
This session/workshop will present faculty and faculty developers with concepts, skills, and strategies to humanize the online learning environment, from overarching approaches to targeted, micro-level approaches. Participants will be able to recall key concepts and be provided opportunities to discuss how they might use strategies in their courses to humanize and personalize learning experiences.
Facilitator:
Jesse Bishop, Georgia Highlands College
As a follow up to the discussion of first year seminars at the Momentum Summit, institutions from across the System indicated an interest in exploring this aspect of the transition to college more fully. The USG is inviting institutions to send teams to a System Workshop on the First Year Seminar at the Georgia Tech Conference Center on Monday, May 13, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
This workshop is being developed as an opportunity to learn more about best and promising practices with these courses and share experiences and challenges with peers from across the state.
The 2019 Mindset Summit will be held on Friday, April 26, at the Jekyll Island Convention Center (map) from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. The Summit will provide an opportunity to review what we have learned about students' in the USG and begin to investigate next steps in developing activities to support students productive academic mindsets.
For Spring 2019, the University System of Georgia is hosting Spring Corequisite Academies in two regional sites to facilitate broader faculty participation and reduce the distance teams will need to travel to participate. Both Academies will feature similar programming and opportunities for interaction with peers. Participants are welcome to participate in either (or both) academies, but total participation is capped at 75 for each academy and you are encouraged to choose the location closest to you.
