Faculty Learning Communities (FLCs)
A Faculty Learning Community is a small group of faculty from across the campus that comes together to explore issues and produce work over a period of time, usually one or two semesters. During sessions led by a faculty peer, participants review research and writing on a topic or issue, develop plans to implement tools and ideas in their own teaching and scholarship, and assess the process of implementation. Based in collaboration and faculty-to-faculty sharing and mentoring, FLCs foster growth, innovation, and reflection.

Faculty Success
Faculty Success begins with mentoring and resources encouraging each faculty member to establish their professional identity at CSUDH. Our University mission is centered around student access and personal transformation. The Faculty Development Center is to support the University’s mission of success in education through a student’s contact with faculty members who effectively combine teaching, scholarship, and service and to help create a campus culture that values and supports excellence in teaching, learning, and research.
Engaged Teaching through High Impact Practices: High Impact and High Touch
High-impact learning happens when students are actively engaged in the educational process, when their learning goes beyond the classroom to be applied in their personal and work lives. Students engaged in high-impact learning often see improvement in grade point averages, get their degrees more quickly, and are more engaged in their education. CSUDH is committed to providing high-impact learning experiences to all students at all levels, across the whole curriculum. In a high-impact learning experience, you will actively pose and solve problems, work collaboratively in a community of peers, experience real-world applications of knowledge, and reflect on your learning processes.
