Cornerstone Learning Communities Call for Proposals 11/18/2009 10:54:37 AM The Cornerstone Learning Communities Program, a collaborative effort between Academic Affairs and Student Affairs, is currently seeking proposals from faculty who wish to teach in this program for the fall 2010 semester. This program is an exciting way for faculty to teach basic studies courses in a small group setting to first semester freshmen. Proposals need to be submitted by Monday, January 11, 2010. Information to consider when developing a proposal: · CLC's will consist of three credit bearing courses (two discipline-based Basic Studies courses and one UNI course that is an integrative seminar). Courses will be assessed and graded separately, but should have at least one joint student project or activity. · CLC's should create curricular coherence for first-year students by taking common themes that already exist among Basic Studies courses and making the themes explicit. · CLC's are not team-taught courses, but do require a high degree of faculty collaboration and interaction. · CLC's will be limited to an enrollment of 25 students each, allowing faculty to use student-centered teaching methods (such as seminar format) and to interact with students outside the classroom. Those interested in learning more about this opportunity, please contact Maggie Bannon, coordinator for the Cornerstone Learning Communities, at x27200 or bannonm@uncw.edu or visit www.uncw.edu/stuaff/housing/clc/. To submit a proposal, see www.uncw.edu/aa/awardsfaculty.htm and click on the link for Call for Proposals, Cornerstone.
