Yes
A brief description of the incentive program(s):
A Teaching Sustainability Faculty Learning Community (FLC) is conducted during fall and spring semesters to explore a multi-disciplinary approach to the scholarship of teaching sustainability. Meeting in ten weekly 90-minute sessions throughout the semester, faculty examine the rationale behind incorporating sustainability into the curriculum, examples of courses in varied disciplines, and approaches to embedding sustainable practices as a core value on campus. In addition to assigned readings and participant-led discussions, faculty are provided with journal articles, books, videos, and websites regarding the scholarship of teaching sustainability. The FLC culminates in a presentation to the entire campus community.
A brief description of the incentives that academic staff who participate in the program(s) receive:
Faculty who participate and meet the goals of the FLC receive a stipend or professional development funds. Anticipated outcomes for this FLC are that each member will identify one course in which to incorporate a unit or module on sustainability, a sustainability challenge, or sustainability-focused activities.
