Faculty Development Groups
Creative Practice Forward! (Community of Practice)
Facilitated by Paul Ricciardi (Communications & Performing Arts)
Creative Practice Forward! provides faculty from across disciplines with an opportunity to share creative works (scholarly, performing arts, visual arts, etc), and / or creative teaching approaches (developing new assignments, course content, etc). As part of the sharing process, participants may seek peer feedback, ask specific questions, or simply attend as an observer.
Learning Goals/Outcomes:
- Have an opportunity to share creative work in any form;
- Be given an opportunity to receive feedback on their shared work if desired;
- Participate in discussions that explore ways to budget time for creative work.
