Formally calling the CoPs for staff working with first year students

(International Journal of the First Year in Higher Education, 2010) Luzeckyj, Ann ; Agutter, Karen Maree ; Sliuzas, Regina Aldona ; Schmidt, Lisa ; Reynolds, Louise Colleen

Drawing on both Community of Practice (CoP) and First Year in Higher Education (FYHE) literature this nuts and bolts session will explore whether the FYHE community may be identified as a CoP. This discussion will be used as a springboard to a presentation on the development of CoPs that support the FYHE teaching community in other Australian universities and the establishment of the CoP for staff who work with first year students at Flinders University. The presentation will outline why a CoP was established to support first year teaching and how the initiative is progressing. Participants will be provided with time to either consider the CoPs at their own institutions or to consider whether investing in one is an appropriate strategy to support staff who work with first year students.
