Faculty

The Leduc Center offers a variety of resources and support for connecting real-world community needs with your academic expertise, research interests, and passion for helping students learn. We can support you at any stage of the process!

Community Engaged Teaching + Learning Faculty Fellows

Are you a faculty member or department head interested in incorporating community engaged learning into your courses or academic programs? If you are, consider applying to the Faculty Fellows program!

The primary purpose of the program is to foster the integration of community engaged learning into academic curricula. Participation in the program is a commitment to the development of a community of teachers and scholars knowledgeable in community engaged learning pedagogies and community-based assets and needs. As a Fellow, faculty meet on the last Friday of each month during the academic year to discuss relevant readings and prepare for community engaged learning classes by learning how to (re)design syllabi, develop assignments, form partnerships, etc.

Additional information can be found in the Request for a Proposal/Application. The program starts in the fall semester of each academic year. Applications are accepted at the end of the spring semester for the upcoming year.

Community Engaged Teaching + Learning modules

If you are a faculty member interested in community engaged learning but are unable to commit to the Faculty Fellows program, the Leduc Center also offers modules on how to build a community engaged learning course.

Community Engaged Learning teaching assistants

Community Engaged Teaching + Learning Faculty can hire student teaching assistants (TA) as additional support to help with the day-to-day details of implementing a community engaged learning class. They may serve as liaisons with community organizations or assist student groups with project conceptualization or implementation. They are trained and supervised by the faculty member(s) with whom they are working.

Community partnerships

If you are searching for a community partner for your community engaged learning course, we can help you find an organization suited to your academic needs.
