Announcing Professional Learning Communities

In collaboration with the Library, ITS and the College of Education, we’ve created a new opportunity for you to exchange ideas and learn from one another. PLCs are voluntary, monthly gatherings of 8-12 members focused on course design topics the PLC defines. They’re open to all faculty, administrators and staff redesigning courses to improve student learning. See the attached invitation for details.

If you’re interested here’s what’s next:

By September 5th, reply by to this email with your general availability. It’s enough to say something like: “I’m available Mon, Wed Fri, 2-5pm; Tues and Fri 8-3pm.

Then wait. . .

  1. I’ll put the group(s) together based on your availability and contact you.
  2. At that time, you’ll also receive a very short questionnaire asking about what topics you’d like to cover. (If you wish, you may include them in the reply to this mail.)
  3. From there, the facilitators will schedule your first meeting, at which time you all will discuss and set your PLC topics and “agenda.”

Facilitators are Mark Laumakis, Faculty/Faculty in Residence ITS, Carolyn Baber, Library Faculty; Pam Jackson, Library Faculty; Keven Jeffery, Library Faculty; Andrea Saltzman, Faculty Consultant.

Note: While being a member of a PLC is voluntary, we ask that members commit to monthly meetings. Also, PLCs are in addition to our Friday OverLunches and CTL/ITS Luncheon series on various topics.

Please feel free to contact Suzanne at 4-2953 or pict at rohan.sdsu.edu
