Ongoing Faculty Development

CILSA's small-group and departmental workshops and individual technical assistance enable faculty to create new and revise existing courses.

Topics for Workshops, Brownbags, and Individual Meetings:

• How Service-Learning and/or Community-Based Research courses can be developed to meet the new Core Curriulum learning goal of Community Engagement
• How Social Justice courses can be developed to meet the new Core Curriulum learning goal of Common Good
• Establishing partnerships with community organizations (and connecting with CILSA's existing partners)
• Reflection strategies
• Assessment of student learning and community service/research outcomes

Individual faculty and departments who are interested in scheduling a meeting or workshop with CILSA staff can contact Sarah Dempsey at sdd4@stmarys-ca.edu.

CILSA's Faculty Development Cohort for Engaged Pedagogy

• Understand which type of course---Social Justice, Service-Learning, or Community-Based Research---supports their existing learning goals
• Create a new course and/or modify an existing course to include engaged pedagogy
• Sustain and deepen their engaged pedagogy

Cohort members participate in a full-day faculty "boot camp," a day-long service immersion experience, a reflection workshop and individual technical assistance sessions with CILSA staff. They receive $250 for participation in all events and $500 for creating a new course to include engaged pedagogy, reflected by receiving an Engaged Teaching Advisory Council official engaged course designation.
