Faculty Development

There is still space in the Spring 2020 Teaching and Lunching Conversations (TLCs) on Inclusive Course Design. The next two sessions are Wednesday, March 4th and April 1st. You can find more information about these sessions and register here. Space is limited to 20 persons in each session and lunch will be provided.

Integrating English Language Learners into Instruction, MICA’s own online course for faculty on inclusive teaching will hold its summer session from May18th-July13th. During this eight-week online course, participants will begin a new module each Monday and then complete course work throughout the week with one of MICA’s ELL specialists serving in the role of facilitator. It is anticipated that participants will spend five hours per week on coursework. Detailed information about the course can be found in the syllabus. After successfully completing the course, participants will receive a $500 stipend and a certificate of completion from MICA’s Center for Teaching Innovation & Exchange. This opportunity is open to all full-time faculty and part-time faculty who are on the teaching schedule for Fall 2020. Space is limited to 18 participants. Please complete this short form if you would like to participate in the summer session.
