Learning Community Resource

As you may or may not know, the LC part of FELC is for Learning Community. That name came from our initial vision to have teachers teach each other to be better at teaching -- supported by those who are subject matter experts on various pedagogies. Indeed if you view the images of the first Summit you will see people gathered during the dine around and sharing their ideas on teaching culinary arts and hospitality education with a nice meal and a beverage of choice. In fact, if in grade school you got high marks on "plays well with others" our learning community is right for you!

That is why we kicked off the first Summit with Dr. Milt Cox, who is considered to be the father of the Faculty Learning Community concept in higher education. He delivered an exceptional keynote on what learning communities are all about and why they are so vitally important to the success of faculty these days. If interested in learning more about the concept and the essence of FELC, please consult the resources Milt Cox has available online at Miami of Ohio.
