Ever wondered what the difference is between all the events that happen at the Faculty Center? Here is a list of terms:

 

Curriculum Innovation Community (CIC): a collegial context for cross-disciplinary faculty leadership and innovation on shared curricular challenges.

  

Faculty Swim: series of open, informal times when you can practice upcoming papers and presentations, share new pedagogical ideas with peers, demo new tools, be inspired, glean practical ideas, and more

Provocative Pedagogy: this is series of informal talk sessions that open up dialogues around stimulating ideas related to teaching and learning. From grand theory and speculation about the current status and future of higher education, to consideration of what we do, "on the ground" with students. Provocative Pedagogy are designed to get the blood flowing, and get us thinking in new and often unconventional ways about teaching and learning.

 

Tricks of the Trade (TotT): these forums showcase great ideas, new and old, that bring home specific strategies we use in and out of the classroom, with passionate teachers from a variety of disciplines. In a nutshell, the TotT mission is to locate best-practices in teaching and learning – those hidden gems around campus and around the world that can be used to enhance our collective work as pedagogists.

  

(CART) Roundtable:  a roundtable series that showcases some of the creative and scholarly activity taking place across campus.
