Small Groups, Big Impact

BioInteractive's Faculty Online Learning Communities (FoLCs) bring together educators from similar teaching contexts to discuss evidence-based practices that improve student outcomes and exchange ideas about implementation strategies.

Activities:

• Join a supportive community of practice with fellow educators.
• Engage in five 90-minute virtual discussions centering evidence-based teaching practices and implementation strategies relevant to your classroom.
• Explore and modify BioInteractive Resources to suit your goals and student outcomes.

Benefits:

• Reflect on your teaching and learn from peers.
• Receive a $300 stipend and a Certificate of Participation for completing the FoLC.*
• Receive a FoLC T-shirt and DOI for submitting your FoLC project to BioInteractive's Educator-Submitted Resources.

*Participation in at least 4 full meetings and in asynchronous peer feedback

Eligibility:

• In your educator role (full- or part-time), you:
  • are the primary instructor for at least one life or environmental science course, AND
  • teach at a high school, 2-year college, or 4-year college/university in the U.S. or Canada.
• You have 15 hours available for the 4 months of the FoLC (includes virtual meetings and an independent project).
• You have a FREE BioInteractive Online Community educator account (or will create one before you confirm your participation).

I really value connecting with other natural science educators because it's so discipline-specific and our facilitator created a supportive and understanding environment. We can't get that anywhere else.
