Future Faculty Learning Community

This learning community serves graduate students who are interested in exploring issues related to college teaching, ranging from bread-and-butter pedagogical techniques to strategies for making teaching more equitable, diverse, and inclusive to classroom management and course organization tips and tricks. This circle is appropriate for any graduate student, whether currently teaching as an instructor of record, serving as a teaching assistant, or considering college teaching as a career path. Discussions are framed around the content of a scholarly text concerning teaching in higher education, but no pre-reading is expected or required. 

Fall 2024

In Fall 2024, we will be basing our discussions on  What Inclusive Instructors Do: Principles and Practices for Excellence in College Teaching  by T. M. Addy, D. Dube, K. A. Mitchell, and M. E. SoRelle (Stylus, 2021). This text discusses inclusive teaching in three areas: the evidence supporting inclusion, developing inclusive practices, and sustaining an institutional culture of inclusion. Our discussions will connect this text to ISU’s signature pedagogy, the Framework for Inclusive Teaching Excellence. 

Six meetings will be scheduled on alternating weeks in the Fall semester. This is a hybrid offering, and participants can meet in person at the Center for Integrated Professional Development (WIH 326) or participate via Zoom. 

Intended Audience:  This learning community is open to all graduate students. No Registration is Required
