Faculty Learning Communities
Faculty Learning Community (FLC): Inclusive Teaching
The Office of Faculty Affairs is sponsoring a paid opportunity for faculty to build a Faculty Learning Community on Inclusive Teaching this June and July through the Center for Teaching Innovation (CTI).
Inclusive teaching is a set of pedagogical constructs that ask instructors to make their practice intentionally and actively inclusive of the needs of all learners. Rather than inclusivity and diversity being met as a by-product, inclusive teaching asks instructors to explore inclusivity as every part of the course, from design to delivery. The Summer 2022 Inclusive Teaching FLC members will collaboratively research and discuss topics within inclusive teaching, and share their knowledge of best practices with the UNO faculty community.
Members will spend time every week doing research, discussing readings, sharing ideas based on their experiences and best practices, and working to create and/or strengthen inclusive teaching tools, practices, and resources to showcase what the FLC has explored. This will culminate in a teaching and learning workshop by the FLC members given to UNO faculty as professional development. As this is a paid development opportunity, all members will submit deliverables as described in the requirements.

What is an FLC?
A Faculty Learning Community (FLC) is a peer-led, cross-disciplinary group of faculty members engaged in an active, collaborative project over a defined period to provide professional development, support, and reflection around a specific pedagogical topic in theory and practice. FLC groups are typically small and are conducted over a defined time, whether that be a summer session of 6-8 weeks, a full semester or an academic year.
