Focusing on a wide range of subjects from Blackboard use and engagement to the essence of learner centered teaching, The Curriculum Series is composed of a wealth of programs that catalyze the teaching and learning connection at Forsyth Tech. Each subject is aligned with Quality Matters (QM) standards.

Learning Communities (FLCs) are a special kind of community of practice. The purpose of the FLCs are to engage in an active, collaborative, yearlong program, with a curriculum focused on enhancing teaching and learning with seminars and activities that promote learning, development and community building.

A week-long retreat that provides a small group of full-time and part-time faculty with an opportunity for professional reflection and renewal in a collegial atmosphere. The objective is to provide an opportunity to learn new teaching innovations while engaging in conversations affecting higher education.

Our yearlong new faculty orientation program, referred to as the T-Three Academy, serves as a connector to the Human Resources hiring process designed to prepare new-to-Forsyth-Tech-faculty for the college culture, available services, and innovative approaches to teaching and learning.

The CTL facilitates the principles of Quality Matters through workshops and as an instructional design practitioner for online and blended course development. We engage faculty in a continuous improvement processes that offer takeaways participants can use right away.

Ed Camp is designed to help put Quality Matters into Practice. Faculty will reflect on the Applying the Quality Matters Rubric workshop and will be introduced to Backwards Design. This will be followed by a workshop on the course mapping process to ensure alignment.
