• Faculty expressed they would like to see community-oriented activities, and we have recently launched a peer tutoring pilot, which will start in ENG 121. The mission of the Peer Tutoring Program (PTP) is to provide timely, positive, and supportive help to students so they may achieve their academic goals and overcome academic obstacles. We seek to build a community of students supporting students by offering course- and assignment-specific tutoring by a cohort of accomplished student tutors who can relate to the experiences of online students. The PTP is established within a culture of care based on building relationships through 1:1 interaction as a pathway to academic success. • Survey results indicate that the three highest motivating factors for teaching at UAGC are serving at-promise students, honing instructional practice, and being part of a learning community. The UAGC Faculty Community of Practice sessions and synchronous space are aligned with these motivators. We encourage you to attend these monthly sessions. Learn more and register here!
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the many UAGC faculty members who dedicated their time to completing the sixth edition of our annual faculty experience survey. This year’s iteration of the survey received the highest response rate ever since introducing this survey in 2016, with a resounding 42 percent of the faculty body participating. This engagement demonstrates the commitment of the UAGC faculty to our students and institutional mission.
