ATLAS is a yearlong faculty learning community targeting developmental reading adjunct faculty to help shift their pedagogy from a skills- to a holistic-based approach to college-level literacy. Additionally, adjunct perceptions of marginalization can be ameliorated by such professional development opportunities when they are executed and implemented with thought and care.
This session will be delivered by a PPT, where we explain the premise and model of a topics-based learning community, and why it is suitable to address the field of reading and learning. We will ground this all in research. We will conduct an interactive session so that participants are able to apply this to their institutional needs.
