A Faculty Interest Group, FIG, brings together faculty with shared interest in a particular aspect of teaching and learning. Intended to foster scholarly teaching and scholarship about teaching, FIG members come together to share best practices, do research about their topic, and support each other in practicing their methodology. TCU faculty, staff, post-docs, and graduate students can participate in FIGs. Participating in a FIG will give you a community of scholars to help you meet your teaching objectives.
The Koehler Center supports FIGs with organizational help (advertising and creating FIG webpages). FIG members schedule the meetings and set the agendas. Each FIG has a coordinator who takes responsibility for maintaining the group and working with the Koehler Center on logistics. To start a FIG, contact the Koehler Center at KoehlerCenter@tcu.edu to discuss your topic.
