ASU Remote 2022: Achieving academic transformation through faculty communities of practice

Faculty communities of practice are an effective way to provide faculty professional development and give faculty a safe space in which to unpack their experiences in a quickly changing higher educational landscape. In this session, leaders of various faculty communities of practice discuss what works and what doesn’t and how your institution can move away from one-and-done workshops to a deeper level of faculty development and academic transformation.

Presenters: Michael Brokos, Program Manager at the APLU and Susan Adams, Associate Director of Teaching and Learning at Achieving the Dream

This resource examines the growing trend of U.S. colleges and universities integrating career readiness into academic courses, with particular attention to gateway and general education courses early in degree programs. It focuses on how students experience the relevance of what they learn in these early courses, and it provides strategies institutions can use to help students experience that relevance earlier, more explicitly, and more consistently.
