Welcome to the TEACH @Pitt Hybrid Faculty Learning Community (FLC)!
This FLC is open to any Pitt instructor who wants to strengthen foundational teaching skills while building meaningful connections with colleagues across disciplines.
Because this FLC focuses on building foundational teaching, it would be especially valuable for new faculty, instructors who have not received formal teaching training, and those who are looking for a supportive, structured way to refresh a course or their teaching practice.
During the Spring 2026 term, participants will complete the online, asynchronous Foundations of Teaching module and come together for three in-person sessions designed to deepen learning, support project work, and build community.
Participants should plan to devote 10+ hours to complete the online and in-person components.
In-person meetings will take place on these Fridays, from 1 to 2:30 p.m., in 815 Alumni Hall:
- January 30
- February 27
- March 27
Lunch will be provided at each meeting.
This FLC is project-based. Over the semester, participants will design or significantly redesign the course artifacts, learning experiences, and/or teaching strategies for one of your courses, with opportunities to workshop ideas, receive feedback, and leave with a concrete, implementable plan.
Participants will also engage in peer mentoring and will have access to additional one-on-one support through the Center for Teaching and Learning. Upon successful completion, participants will create artifacts and earn a Credly digital badge that can be added to a teaching portfolio.
Space is limited. We encourage those who are interested to complete this application as soon as possible.
