FACULTY LEARNING COMMUNITIES


1st Year Student Support: Enhancing the Student Success Network and its Faculty Partners

Fall 2019—Winter 2020

How can we best support students in their matriculation to College? Specifically, how do we measure and otherwise enhance their knowledge of 1st year competencies?

This group is focused on developing better ways to brighten the future of our 1st year students. The SSN is a new initiative that connects faculty members with new students. The first goal is to explore best practices in training and developing Faculty partners as they navigate supporting students, with a focus on commuter students. A second goal will be to refine the training curriculum for the SSN. The third goal for this group will be developing key messaging to be shared with students. The fourth goal of the group is to evaluate the SSN and provide recommendations.

SSN is a broad, university-wide program in its infancy, and this group could have a profound impact on the 1st year student experience. Faculty members interested in further supporting 1st year students are encouraged to apply; preference will be given to faculty serving as SSN mentors in 2019-20.

How might we explore teaching in an active environment with the Teaching Response System?

The purpose of this FLC is to explore active learning environments and how to use a Teaching Response System in the classroom. The idea of a teaching response system was first proposed by Eric Mazur, a professor of Physics at Harvard University. We will use Derek Buff's book, "Teaching with Classroom Response Systems: Creating Active Learning Environments" as a guide to using teaching response systems and assessing how they might improve learning.

***This FLC is open to members of the 2018-2019 Best Teachers FLC only***

Authoring Professional Identity

Fall 2019

How can storytelling be used as a tool to clarify and construct the professional identities of teacher educators and those of their students?

The construction of professional identity is a fundamental aim of teacher education. However, neoliberal reforms of schooling have created an identity crisis for members of the teaching profession. In the midst of this turmoil, how can teacher educators create a shift from being defined by external factors to authoring their own professional identity? The purpose of this FLC is for teacher educators to explore the use of autobiographical storytelling as a means to clarify, construct, and articulate a professional identity.

***This FLC is limited to only those College of Education faculty members who participated in the Fall 2018 FLC titled "Telling Tales: Using Stories to Construct Professional Identity."

Meeting Dates/Times:  TBD

Location/Campus:  Pew Grand Rapids Campus

Banding together: Foundations response to MDE's revised certification structure

Winter 2020

What is the role of Educational Foundations in the new teacher education grade band structure?

The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) has revised the state's teacher certification structure and created six grade bands. A key goal of this new structure is deeper preparation of teachers to meet the unique learning needs of children at each grade level. The Educational Foundations department will come together in an FLC to develop a conceptual framework that articulates the role of Educational Foundations in meeting MDE's new structure for certifying teachers.

*** This FLC is open to COE Educational Foundations Department faculty only.

Best Practices in Hybrid Delivery

Winter 2020—Fall 2020

How might we deliver the best practice possible hybrid learning experience for our CCPS graduate students?

This FLC will share and discuss best practices in hybrid class delivery. Its purpose is to support faculty in CCPS as we transition our graduate education classes over to a blended approach of online and in-seat learning. Over the next 12 months, our intent is to require faculty to adopt a hybrid model for deliver of all our CCPS graduate programs and thus we want to support them in that transition by underpinning the change with access to building high-quality hybrid course content. The motivation behind this shift in pedagogy is to be proactive in allowing more flexible access to our classes for traditional and nontraditional learners. These sessions will further assist that transition in terms of offering support, guidance and the creation of a college-wide learning community for our faculty as they adopt and share best practices amongst their peers.

*** This FLC is open to CCPS faculty only.

COE Book Study: White Fragility

Winter 2020

How might a study of the book "White Fragility" help faculty talk about racism?

Through reading and discussing White Fragility, participants will have an opportunity to examine racial disparities in access and opportunity that are often an issue in schools. Each participant will be invited to examine their belief system and how it impacts his/her approach to teaching and learning. Especially as our student population remains primarily white, it is important to help racially diverse students feel protected and respected. Toward this goal, participants will be encouraged to develop skills to engage in conversations about bias, race and racism.

This FLC is open to College of Education faculty only.

Meeting Dates/Times:  Meets from 10 a.m.-11 a.m. on the following dates—

Get on the Syllabus

Summer 2020

What do the best syllabi do?

A well-designed syllabus can enhance students’ motivation and engagement, which, in turn, as we know, enhance learning outcomes. In this FLC we will collaborate to reexamine and perhaps rethink our syllabi in the light of Ken Bain's analysis (in What the Best College Teachers Do) of common traits in the syllabi of effective instructors, and with the aid of Designing a Motivational Syllabus: Creating a Learning Path for Student Engagement by Christine Harrington and Melissa Thomas. (Participants will receive copies of each.)

Grade Expectations

Spring 2020

How might an instructor issue grades in a way that doesn't actually hinder learning?

Has teaching remotely in a crisis given you pause about how to grade? Have you always hated grading, anyway? Can grades actually hinder learning and exacerbate social inequities? Ever fantasize about doing away with them altogether? This FLC will explore the relevant Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) with regard to grades, including the unorthodox practice of "ungrading." We will engage in reading, reflection and conversation with a view toward evaluating students' performance more constructively and ethically.

High-Leverage Teaching Practice: Explaining and Modeling Content Practices and Strategies

Winter 2020

How can developing an understanding of the components of explaining and modeling content, practices, and strategies support student learning in your own classroom and the future classroom of your PK-12 teacher candidates?

The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) new teacher preparation standards require PK-12 teacher candidates to demonstrate several high-leverage or core teaching practices, which are the basic fundamentals of teaching. As such, faculty engaged in teacher education must develop knowledge of these practices. This FLC will do a deep dive into the practice of Explaining and Modeling Content, Practices, and Strategies. Participants will explore a number of resources from Teaching Works to learn the elements of the practice, how to implement the practice in their own teaching, and how to train novice teachers in the practice.

This FLC is open to faculty from the College of Education and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences who are engaged in PK-12 teacher education only.

Internships: Approaches, Strategies, and Best Practices

Fall 2019

How can we help students get the most out of their internships?

Internships serve different purposes for different students. For some students, an internship can serve as a starting point for their academic and professional aspirations. For others who have a clearer vision, an internship can help them apply their knowledge and skills in a "real world" setting. Much of the responsibility for helping students understand the purpose and value of an internship falls on the shoulders of internship directors. Therefore, this FLC will center on helping GVSU internship directors explore:

  • best practices for advising and evaluating student internship experiences
  • strategies for outreach, networking, and student preparation
  • approaches for building and strengthening relationships with employers and community partners

"Making Waves" in the African Diaspora

Fall 2019 — Winter 2020

What is the relationship, if any, between water and freedom in the history of the African Diaspora?

This faculty learning community seeks to interrogate the relationship between water and the history of the African diaspora. In our contemporary moment, water may often be associated with notions of fear, vulnerability, or trauma in communities of African descent. However, research suggests that African worldview and experience prior to the spread of global slavery created meaning in and through water that fostered self-making and, in some instances, secured freedom. Using Kevin Dawson's recent book Undercurrents of Power: Aquatic Culture in the African Diaspora as a springboard for discussion, we will theorize the ways in which a more nuanced understanding of the connections between race and water can inform pedagogy (public or institutional) as well as communal well-being.

Meeting Dates/Times: Meeting 1 p.m.- 2 p.m. on the following dates— 2/3, 3/9, 3/30

Location/Campus: JHZ 3068, Allendale Campus

Practicing Mindfulness-discover inner peace and serenity!

Spring/Summer 2020

How can we become more adept at handling our daily tumult, busyness and stressful situations both at work and home? How can we transform the relationship with ourselves and the world around us?

Research has shown that mindfulness practice can help manage stress and anxiety and improve both physical and emotional well-being. Teaching our mind how to focus and be present helps us to stop running and develop a more fulfilling and harmonious life. Mindfulness practice encourages the development of greater awareness, allowing us to be more in the present moment.

Sometimes It Ain't Easy and That Is Okay

Winter 2020—Fall 2020

How can we introduce "desirable difficulties into our courses to promote student learning?

Cognitive science has identified some ways  of learning/studying that seem difficult/ineffective to students, but are actually key to developing understanding. In the winter semester we will examine these "desirable difficulties" (DD) and the research supporting them. During the later part of the first semester, participant will begin designing/revising selected aspects of their course to include one or more DD. During the next semester, the fall, these will then be implemented in the course. Also during the fall, participants will meet to discuss the implementation, data collection, and evaluation of impact of the DD on student learning. At the end of the FLC the participants will be encouraged to turn in a brief write up of their results for dissemination on Scholar Works.

Surviving Climate Crisis Through Education

Fall 2019—Winter 2020

What is the role of liberal arts education in preparing students to fully understand, mitigate, adapt to, cope with and make ethical decisions to address the global crisis?

Global climate crisis has adverse impacts on all aspects of environment and society. The generation of our students is particularly attuned to climate crisis and deeply distressed about it. Our future is uncertain and our children and students will be tasked with designing and implementing new solutions. Liberal arts education provides the best approach to study complex problems, such as climate change from multiple angles and empower teachers and learners through interdisciplinary problem solving. Whether we address equity and social justice, refugees and forced migration, deforestation and soil degradation, biogeochemical cycles or ocean dynamics, climate change provides a focal point for their nexus. From poetry to physics, from political science to digital studies, from geography to ethics, every major or area of study today inevitably deals with challenges of climate change. The proposed FLC will provide an important platform for interdisciplinary faculty collaboration to support climate change education across disciplines.
