FLCs (Faculty Learning Communities) are small groups of faculty members who meet regularly to explore a shared teaching and learning topic. Participants engage in collaborative discussions, share practices and reflect on their teaching in a supportive environment. Many FLCs also provide opportunities for faculty to develop practical resources and materials that can be shared with colleagues across the university. Faculty members are invited to complete the short survey at the following URL to share their interests, potential topics and feedback regarding future FLC opportunities. Information from this survey will help VCU’s Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence plan FLCs for the 2026-2027 school year.
