Beginning with academic year 2007-2008, the TLC will offer workshops on selected topics; resource centers on each campus with books, periodicals, and electronic resources; and recognition awards. In addition, we hope to facilitate departmental and discipline discussion groups. Future plans include offering project grants, initiating a Topic of the Month series, arranging for individual and group consultations, offering classroom observations, and launching a mentoring program. Go to the Events link for a schedule of current offerings. Go to the Contact Us link to provide feedback on services that you would like to see offered through the TLC, or to communicate your interest in being a presenter.
Workshops
Content experts from within and outside the Edison State College community will deliver workshops on each campus on a wide range of teaching and learning topics throughout the academic year.
Resource Centers
Resource centers are located on the Charlotte Campus in room LS-122, on the Lee Campus in Robinson Hall, room I-120, and on the Collier Campus in room F-219/F-221. Each Campus TLC has a collection of resources, including books, journals, and DVDs, for faculty and staff to peruse on site or check out from their Campus Library. Suggestions for TLC resource center collections are welcome.
Recognition Awards
Each academic year, nominations will be sought from students, administrators, and peers for various awards recognizing excellence in teaching. One example of a peer-nominated award is the NISOD Excellence Award. Faculty receiving this award will be recognized at the NISOD conference in Austin, Texas, as well as at the Edison College fall convocation. For more information about the NISOD Excellence Award, go to http://www.nisod.org
Departmental and Discipline Discussion Groups
Discussion groups may be held at the resource centers on each campus, and should be initiated by faculty with an interest in such a forum. Faculty needing assistance in initiating a discussion group should contact Jane Charles at ext 1845 or jcharles@edison.edu.
Suggestions for developing additional Teaching and Learning Center services are welcome. This is YOUR Teaching and Learning Center. The TLC will thrive and grow only if Edison faculty members actively use and contribute to it.
