Join us for a roundtable featuring some of our Provost’s Teaching Fellows from the Foundational Course Initiative (FCI), a program dedicated to transforming the first-year experience through evidence-based, inclusive course design. The FCI’s four strategic priorities are:

• reimagining how content is delivered
• fostering student community and belonging
• building real-world examples and assessments
• supporting instructors in helping students develop effective learning strategies

Fellows have redesigned key introductory courses to better engage and support students across a variety of disciplines. During this “choose your own adventure” style session, attendees will have the opportunity to engage in small group discussions with our Provost’s Teaching Fellows about how these faculty addressed our strategic priorities in their teaching. Each strategic priority will serve as a table topic, hosted by a different group of our fellows. You can learn more about the FCI and read about the fellows on the FCI webpage.

Session modality: Choose-your-own adventure. Three 20-minute blocks of table discussion will be offered, with each table led by a faculty facilitator. At the end of each block, attendees are welcome to switch to any other table of their choosing, or stay where they are to continue the conversation with new voices. The session will conclude with a brief full-group sharing out.
