Hostos faculty members are committed to excellence, continuously engaging in professional activities to enhance their teaching. To support this, CTL sponsors small, interdisciplinary faculty groups that collaborate to improve teaching practices.
CTL facilitates cross-disciplinary scholarship through faculty-led initiatives, including Faculty Inquiry Groups (FIGs) focused on key pedagogical areas such as Peer Observation, the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), Service Learning, and Team-Based Learning. These groups provide a platform for faculty to explore and share effective teaching strategies.
Faculty Inquiry Groups
Faculty Inquiry Groups (FIGs) at Hostos bring faculty members together to explore shared interests in teaching and learning. These groups meet regularly throughout the academic term, providing a collaborative space to exchange ideas, share best practices, and engage in research or projects. FIG activities may include discussing scholarly literature, analyzing classroom practices, and developing curriculum or assessment strategies.
Initiatives
Hostos Community College offers a variety of initiatives and programs to support faculty members in achieving their professional goals. They are designed to provide faculty members with the resources and support they need to excel in their teaching and professional endeavors and are tailored to meet the diverse needs of Hostos faculty.
