LACCD Faculty Teaching and Learning Academy (FTLA)
On behalf of the Student Success Initiative Steering Committee, we would like to invite you to apply for admission to the inaugural program of the LACCD Faculty Teaching and Learning Academy (FTLA).
The FTLA seeks to promote the recommendations of the district’s Framework for Student Success and the state’s Basic Skills as a Foundation for Student Success in California’s Community Colleges. It is the centerpiece of our efforts to invest in the faculty through programs that stress innovative instructional design and teaching practices.
Set to begin on January 20, 2009, the FTLA will feature presentations by expert college and university practitioners, as well as hands-on activities such as designing and scaffolding collaborative learning activities. It will emphasize creating syllabi that stimulate student motivation, increase critical thinking skills, and integrate support services and academic resources. FTLA enrollees may receive 3 units of course credit applicable to step/column advancement on the district salary scale as well as flex credit. Upon completion, a Board-issued certificate of achievement will be awarded. Most importantly, FTLA graduates will establish long-lasting communities of practice with colleagues across the disciplines and the campuses of our district.
Supporting documents are attached to this email, including the FTLA proposal, FAQs about FTLA, and complete application materials. If you need further information, contact Deborah L. Harrington, Dean of Institutional Effectiveness/Student Success (213-891-2115, dharrington@email.laccd.edu), or David Beaulieu (213-901-2294, dbeaulieu@email.laccd.edu). Applications are due to your Vice President of Academic Affairs on or before December 1, 2008.
If you would like to take part in this exciting effort to improve the standards of teaching and learning scholarship across the LACCD, we urge you to consider applying for the inaugural FTLA.
Sincerely,
Mark and David
(Marshall “Mark” Drummond, LACCD Chancellor, and David Beaulieu, LACCD DAS President)
