Professional Learning Communities Are Coming Soon!

NOVA’s QEP Team is excited to invite faculty who teach ENG-111 and librarians, tutors, and administrators whose work supports ENG-111 students to join a Professional Learning Community (PLC) this academic year.  PLCs are small groups of practice that meet for an hour each month to support each other as they begin to work toward the goals of NOVA’s Quality Enhancement Plan: increased student success in ENG-111 and enhanced student sense of belonging.

This fall’s PLCs will focus on Sense of Belonging and Culturally Responsive Pedagogy. In the spring, the PLCs will turn to Problem-Based Learning. There is no prerequisite to join.  And if you were a PLC member last year, please come back. The QEP Team has a lot of new material to share! 

The time commitment is approximately two hours each month: one hour to complete each month’s readings and one hour to participate in the meetings. Use this link for a PLC that fits your schedule. If you have any questions, please contact Indigo Eriksen, IEriksen@nvcc.edu, or Cathy Gaiser, CGaiser@nvcc.edu.
