Community of Practice Conveners

College Unbound is committed to creating a collaborative, reflective, and supportive environment for all faculty. To advance this goal, we seek to provide effective onboarding, access to instructional resources, ongoing faculty development programs, and an opportunity to be a member of a robust community of practice related to specific courses or disciplinary areas. A cadre of community practice groups for Lab faculty and faculty teaching core courses is formally supported by faculty who serve as Community of Practice Conveners. 

Community of Practice Conveners shepherd the development of a Community of Practice for Lab Faculty or Instructional Faculty who are teaching sections of the same core course.

• Facilitating a Google Space to encourage faculty collabration

• Connecting with and supporting new faculty

• Directing any significant questions or concerns to staff as needed

• Convening check-ins throughout the semester

• Attending Faculty Curriculum meetings by invitation
