Accessibility in STEM Courses FLC
Fall 2022 – Spring 2023
Led by a member of the Instructional Accessibility Group, this FLC will begin in Fall 2022 and continue through the Spring 2023 semesters. Participants will audit live courses, workshop content and resources, as well as research tools and practices. Ultimately, the FLC will work to identify barriers within STEM education and develop methods for removing them.
The FLC will meet 1-2 times a month (some meetings could last up to 2 hours). Meetings will be scheduled based on participant availability and will be available remotely.

Community Engaged / Service Learning FLC
Fall 2022 – Spring 2023
This Faculty Learning Community (FLC) will define and focus on the benefits of experiential, community engaged, and service learning for students, faculty, the community, and the university. The FLC will also give faculty practical tools to implement experiential, community engaged, and/or service learning into their course(s).
In the fall, sessions will cover such topics as: what are experiential, community engaged, and service learning? How do you locate a community partner and foster a relationship with them that is mutually beneficial to the class and the community partner? What are the benefits and challenges to this type of learning?
In the spring, our focus will be more practical and applied. For example, participants may create a list of possible community partners and consider how to establish a relationship with them. Participants might formulate activities and assignments that realize community-engaged or service learning in an existing class. They might develop new service learning or community engaged course syllabi, including how to designate a course as a “SL” course in Curriculog. Facilitators are open to additional topics and outcomes as desired by participants.
