XFD-450 - CLAW Professional Development Faculty Seminars

Course Description

The CLAW’s faculty seminars recognize that effective educators are not born that way or inherently good at what they do. Good practitioners need a variety of opportunities to revise their curricula, some of which are part of a lengthy unified structure. The CLAW supports faculty in a different educational approach, one that supports community-based learning experiences, High Impact Practices, and discussion-based and seminar-style learning. These seminars and curricular workshops challenge the assumption that seminar-style instruction automatically makes all students feel welcomed and instead demands that faculty rethink their classroom pedagogy and practice to ensure that they actually are. Faculty who have completed this experience are able to list their courses as part of the seminar-tagged classes available for students pursuing the Letter of Recognition.
