Teaching Squares
Online Hybrid & F2F
A teaching square is made up of four faculty, sometimes from different disciplines. The four faculty in each teaching square agree to visit each other’s classes one time over the course of a semester, and then meet to discuss what they’ve learned from their observations. They meet once as a group at the beginning to learn about the process, and then meet again after the observations to discuss what they have learned.
