Dartmouth Events

A learning community is a cross-disciplinary group of 6-12 members who engage in an active, collaborative, term-long program structured to provide learning opportunities, community building, and reflection. 

Each learning community focuses on a question, set of problems, or area of interest. Members deepen their knowledge in the chosen area by interacting on an ongoing basis through a series of seminars. Seminars take place on a bi-weekly basis, and may include reading relevant literature, discussing case studies or personal experiences, developing resources or other scholarship, attending events or conferences, and social gatherings. 

Inclusive Teaching
As the identities and needs of Dartmouth students continue to evolve, so too do the demands on faculty and staff to adjust their practice in order to create a campus culture that values diversity. In this learning community, we will explore the practical aspects of inclusive education, and apply these principles in the context of our own courses, research, and community interactions. Possible discussion topics (to be chosen by the participants) include student accessibility, culturally responsive teaching, marginalized communities, first-generation college students, and universal design, among many more.

This community will meet: January 24, February 7, February 21, March 6
