Learning Community for Faculty New to Carolina
Faculty Forward
About the Program
Whether you are new to a faculty role or just new to Carolina, we invite you to join our Faculty Forward program. This series consists of four structured sessions on teaching-related topics, to be held monthly between October and January, co-facilitated by a faculty member and CFE staff person. The goals of the Faculty Forward Program are:
1. To provide a confidential, safe community for faculty to talk about teaching and learning.
2. To share research and emerging practices shown to have a positive impact on teaching and learning.
3. To provide opportunities for self-care and reflection in support of faculty growth.
Participants will receive a copy of Engaged Teaching: A Handbook for College Faculty by (Barkley & Major, 2022), which we will use to structure our meetings. Along with this content, we will incorporate mindfulness moments that can be integrated into your teaching and everyday self-care practices. Complete this brief application to indicate your interest.
Who Should Apply
Early career faculty, those new to UNC at any career stage, or those new to teaching.
