Learning Communities

 

Our learning communities promote increased student success by:

• Providing student-centered environments which address multiple learning styles
• Encouraging collaborative learning which develops integrative thinking skills
• Fostering connections among students, faculty, and staff
• Helping students to become responsible, actively engaged learners
• Teaching students to identify and access sources of support
• Encouraging vibrant teaching partnerships which promote richer and more flexible pedagogies and teaching practices
• Enabling faculty to build connections among disciplines and create more engaged classrooms
• Fostering increased conversation among faculty beyond the learning communities
• Incorporating ongoing assessment which is responsive to the evolving needs of these learning communities
