BEYOND COMPLIANCE LEARNING COMMUNITIES
The Beyond Compliance Initiative and the Center for Innovations in Teaching and Learning host learning communities for faculty and graduate students focused on curriculum development for topics related to sexual violence and sexual harassment (SVSH).
Beyond Compliance Faculty Learning Community
The Beyond Compliance Faculty Learning Community is a group of faculty members across disciplines who discuss and collaboratively design curricular units related, directly or indirectly, to sexual violence and sexual harassment (SVSH) that can be integrated into preexisting courses. The learning community works together to help individual faculty participants develop content and strategies for teaching for their specific courses.
The goals of this learning community are to:
- Develop a course unit that addresses sexual violence and sexual harassment within an already existing course
- Build cross-disciplinary community of faculty committed to ending SVSH on campus through interdisciplinary, shared teaching and learning practices
Winter 2019 Program Information
In Winter 2019, the learning community activities included:
- Four in-person meetings during Winter 2019
- Engaging with a shared set of readings on SVSH topics
- Discussing discipline-specific learning components
- Collaboratively workshopping course unit ideas
- Learning about pedagogical best practices for teaching SVSH and other sensitive material
See the Winter 2019 Beyond Compliance Faculty Learning Community Call for Proposals for more information on the community and the process for participating.
Beyond Compliance Graduate Student Learning Community
The Beyond Compliance Graduate Student Learning Community is a group of graduate students across disciplines who discuss and collaboratively design curricular units related, directly or indirectly, to sexual violence and sexual harassment (SVSH) that can be integrated into preexisting or new courses. The learning community works together to help individual graduate student participants develop learning goals, content, and strategies for teaching as TAs or as Graduate Student Instructors.
The graduate student learning community shares the same goals as the faculty learning community. Course unit topics and teaching discussions have included:
- Artistic and literary representations of SVSH survivorship
- The psychology of trauma
- Inclusive group work with student survivors
- Expressions of SVSH experiences in student writing and discussion
- Content notifications
Spring 2019 Program Information
In Spring 2019, the graduate student learning community activities included:
- Five in-person meetings during Spring 2019
- Engaging with a shared set of readings on SVSH topics and evidence-based pedagogical strategies
- Collaboratively workshopping course unit learning objectives, activities, and assessments
- Learning about pedagogical best practices for teaching SVSH and other sensitive material
