“Teaching Squares”
Kickoff Meetings: Overview & Sign-Up
Tuesday, September 17 | 1:00pm | Rod Library 378

Friday, September 20 | 1:00pm | Rod Library 378
Facilitator: Jonathan Chenoweth (CETL)
Open a “mirrored window” onto your teaching and learning: Join a Teaching Square! Members of a “square”* invite each other into their classrooms, not in order to critique one another’s teaching but to reflect on their own.
“The traditional view of the [peer observation] process … includes an assumption that colleagues can learn effectively from each other’s explicit, constructive feedback about observed teaching. However, evidence is increasingly emerging that learning from watching a colleague teach can be just as beneficial as, if not more than, receiving feedback, even when that feedback is well constructed.” (Hendry and Oliver, 2012)
Come to one of the kickoff meetings to learn more – with no obligation – and we’ll handle the logistics of assembling and connecting a “square” cohort that fits your schedules. You’ll attend 3 meetings (counting the kickoff), observe 3 classes, and write 3 paragraphs. You may also make 3 new friends!
_____
*Squares need not consist of 4 people, but 3-5 is a good range.
