Self-Directed Learning

All PCP TLC participants are required to complete at least 4 self-directed learning (SDL) activities on teaching and learning topics of their choosing with reflections uploaded to their teaching portfolios. Participants in the Academia track additionally create teaching and learning focused videos.

Option #1 Participants may fulfill their 4 self-directed learning activity requirements by viewing the videos created by Academia track participants below, providing constructive feedback, and writing a reflection on how they will apply what they have learned.

Option #2 Participants may attend teaching and learning sessions at regional/national conferences, complete online training modules, or read articles. Activities and readings should focuses on the knowledge, skills, or attitudes involved in the process of teaching and learning. Some example online learning options are also listed at the bottom of this page. As a general rule of thumb each SDL online activity, video, or reading should take approximately 1 hour to complete in order to count for this requirement. When in doubt, ask your mentor if a session, activity, or reading will qualify.

Academia Track Videos - Participants in the Academia track are mentored through the process of developing teaching and learning focused on-demand videos that serve as self-directed learning activities for other participants in the program.
