#iteachmsu: Centering an Educator Learning Community (ELC)
Skogsberg, Erik; Neal, Makena; McDaniels, Melissa; Shellgren, Madeline; Stewart, Patricia
To Improve the Academy, v40 n1 p183-208 Fall 2021
Many scholars recommend preparing faculty for educator roles. Faculty Learning Communities, The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), and teaching centers represent common preparatory approaches. But faculty and teaching assistants report time, disciplinary disconnects, and lack of incentives as ongoing barriers. Inspired by K-12's professional learning networks and "hashtag activism," the authors' university launched #iteachmsu. #iteachmsu combines practices of social networking with a digital and in-person teaching "commons." Through #iteachmsu, the authors hope to further shift campus cultures in the age of COVID-19, centering teaching and learning as a valuable and ongoing focus for an educator learning community (ELC).
