DESIGNING YOUR LIFE FACULTY LEARNING COMMUNITY
Dates: September 13^th and 27th, October 18^th, November 1 and 15^th
Time: 3:00-4:00 pm
Location: Zoom

Join a group of Longwood faculty as we prepare for the Post-Graduate Success Initiative by reading Designing Your Life by Burnett, Evans, and Evans.  We’ll meet twice a month (except in October) for an hour via Zoom, and we’ll read most of the book this semester.  We'll cover 35-40 pages per meeting.  We understand that you might have conference or work plans that might prevent you from attending all 5 sessions.  If you can make most of the meetings, please do come. You can sign up here: https://forms.gle/mb1Zf76UTpqPhGbc6. The form includes information on readings, the book, and the Zoom address.

DYNAMIC LEARNING DIALOGUES (DLD)
Date: Apply for your DLD by September 13^th
All faculty are invited to apply for a DLD. A CAFE staff member works with you, then facilitates an in-person conversation among your students about the complete learning environment, and then shares the rich qualitative data with you in a final meeting. The DLD is useful for reflections on student learning and your teaching; we can help you brainstorm ways to enhance classroom interactions and student learning and to tweak your teaching. The link to begin the process is here: https://forms.gle/KVrJHwCx6RrVK7AbA.
