Faculty Development

Faculty interested in participating in Kingsborough's learning communities attend a new faculty orientation the semester before they begin. They then spend the following module (Winter or Summer) collaborating with other members of their team - identifying shared student learning outcomes and themes, synchronizing course topics to maximize connections, and designing shared integrative assignments. (Please click here to see some sample faculty collaborations). Each learning community program holds faculty development workshops throughout the semester. Workshop topics are often elicited from the faculty and usually involve faculty sharing best practices and assessing student work to strengthen links.

Faculty development is coordinated by Profs. Rebecca Arliss, Marcia Babbitt and Marissa Schlesinger (Opening Doors), Profs. Rebecca Mlynarczyk and Gabrielle Kahn (Intensive ESL LCs), and Prof. Janine Graziano-King (Career Focused LCs).
