BTU Lunch & Learn: Communities of Practice at TU
October 16, 2019 | 12–1:30 p.m. | CLA 3150
The BTU Lunch & Learn series is a chance for faculty and staff to tap into BTU, expand engaged work, and learn best practices from colleagues who are successfully doing the work. Lunch is served. Space is limited. Register early.
This Lunch and Learn will gather feedback and ideas from faculty and staff on the formation of Communities of Practice. This model for community engagement and partnership work will match TU faculty and staff with external partners to work towards mutually agreeable goals with BTU as the convener.
This model derives from a variety of sources, but has recently been piloted by Campus Compact. As they state, a community of practice is “a group of people who share interest in an area of inquiry and engage in collective learning about that issue as it relates to their work or practice. Through discussions, joint activities, and relationship building, the community of practice develops a shared and individual repertoire of resources, skills, and knowledge to use in their practice.”
Using the five impact clusters developed through the BTU Presidential Priority as a starting point, we will brainstorm possible communities of practice to pilot in 2020. A white paper on a model for communities of practice at TU will be distributed to registered attendees in advance of the session.
Please bring your ideas and details on established community engagement and partnership work!
