Supporting Community College Faculty Across the STEM Disciplines
×October 7-9, 2012
Carleton College, Northfield, MN
By Invitation OnlyThe project brought together 25 educators representing 13 disciplines who addressed the isolation of community college instructors and their lack of engagement with discipline-based professional associations and NSF-funded projects. Materials created at the workshop will be hosted on the website and will include materials that can be used within each discipline (ready-to-go activities for faculty development and links to existing resources to improve undergraduate education and faculty professional development) as well as shared information so that we can continue to learn from one another across disciplines.
