Learning Communities. This agreement pertains to compensation for teaching courses designated as part of a learning community. A “learning community” is defined as a pair of course sections from different disciplines in which all students enroll in both sections, with no other students allowed to enroll, and in which the instructors collaborate in the planning of instructions. There will be three levels of instruction in learning communities: • Immersion – In this model, which is to be employed for the first time a learning community is offered, both instructors will be present for all class sessions of each section. Both sections will be considered part of each instructor’s load. • Continuing Immersion – In this model, the two instructors continue the activities described in the Immersion model, but with less time required for planning because of the experience gained in the Immersion activity. Each will receive a two-credit-hour load for this activity. • Thematic – In this model, the instructors engage in planning and frequent communication, but attend one another’s class section infrequently, if at all. Only those who have participated previously in the Immersion model will be eligible to do this. Each will receive a one-credit-hour load for this activity.
