Communities of Practice

Each academic year, the Center for Faculty Excellence works with our Faculty Associates and campus partners to develop and deliver innovative and timely Communities of Practice. CFE Communities of Practice are open to all BGSU faculty members, adjunct instructors, graduate students, and administrative and classified staff members, unless noted otherwise.

Your participation in CFE-led and CFE Faculty Associate-led Learning Communities may make you eligible to receive $100 professional development funds/supplemental pay per semester of participation.

• Attend at least 80% of all scheduled community meetings or the equivalent aysnchronous participation as determined by the facilitator and participant.
