SUNY faculty members (both full and part time) who use or are considering using open educational resources (OER) in their courses are eligible to participate in a no-cost, professional development program during the fall 2020 or spring 2021 semester. Selected faculty members will be enrolled as a fellow in one (or more) nine-week, asynchronous online fellowships facilitated by Lumen Circles.*

Fellowship Themes:

• Online Teaching Foundation 
• Evidence-Based Teaching
• Evidence-Based Teaching with Lumen Courseware
• OER and Open Pedagogy
• Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
• Active Learning
• Teaching Large Sections
• New to College Teaching 

Lumen Circles connects you with other faculty members as you explore effective instructional practices that support student success and apply them in your own teaching. Through the fellowship, you can learn, share ideas, and develop professionally in the areas you want to grow. Lumen Circles works well for any faculty member, in any discipline, at any stage of career. **

As a Lumen Circles fellow, you will spend one to two hours a week focusing on how to improve your pedagogy and teaching practice. Participation in a Lumen Circles fellowship circle is at no cost to you or your campus.

A SUNY-hosted webinar about this opportunity, "Introducing Lumen Circles: Supporting Faculty and Effective Teaching," will be held today, July 7, from noon to 1:00 p.m. Please register on the SUNY Center for Professional Development website.

If you are interested in participating as a fellow in the program or just want to learn more, please visit the Lumen Learning Circles website and fill out the short statement of interest form at the bottom of the page as soon as possible. Those who complete the form are under no obligation to participate. Those who indicate interest will be informed about the details of the program.

*Please note that selected fellows are required to be teaching at least one credit-bearing course during their fellowship.

**Except for the "Evidence-Based Teaching with Lumen Courseware" fellowship, participating in this professional development offering does not require use of any learning materials or courseware offered by Lumen Learning.
