UCR is hosting a Faculty Learning Program for the 2021-2022 academic year. This program (originally hosted by UC Berkeley) brings together faculty at UCR to learn about the science of teaching and learning, improve their instructional practice, and build relationships and understanding of one another’s teaching and learning contexts in order to better align teaching practices to improve undergraduate student outcomes.

• In-person kick-off workshop: September 22, 8:30 am - 4:30 pm hosted on campus.
• Part 1: Fall 2021: 7 to-be-scheduled synchronous online sessions (learning)
• Part 2: Winter 2022: 4-5 to-be-scheduled synchronous online sessions (practice & observation)

In this program, you will:

• Build your education expertise
• Develop your teaching practice to support student learning in lecture courses
• Redesign your lectures to apply what you learn and integrate new approaches to teaching
• Experience online technologies to develop your instructional practice & support student learning
• Give and receive feedback on teaching practice
