The CALS Community of Practice is one of the many strategies in the new Distance Education Strategic Plan. The strategy will build a community around pedagogy, teaching resources, educational trends and research. The CALS Community of Practice is held virtually twice a semester. Guest speakers can bring awareness to various education topics within the college. Guest speakers are welcome to host a formal presentation or lead an informal discussion about teaching resources, research, helpful educational tips and more.
The CALS Community of Practice promotes the efforts of CALS faculty, celebrates educational successes, shares resources and research that aid in educational efforts, and builds a strong community of educators and supporters that serve the college.
