Faculty Learning Communities Program
Miami University - Oxford, OH

Program: The Faculty Learning Communities Program consists of yearlong intensive communities resulting in deep learning rather than surface learning. Community is often missing in higher education, where isolation and fragmentation partition faculty, the curriculum, and student learning. This program has reestablished these connections and achieved the same outcomes as student learning communities: increased retention, intellectual development, collaboration, active learning, civic responsibility, and interest in learning.
