Wanting professional renewal that impacts your teaching and improves your students’ learning? Interested in advancing your abilities to conduct peer observations?
Join the Center for Teaching and Learning this spring for Mutual Mentors! Trios of faculty engage in: 1) intellectual peer coaching practices; 2) reciprocal classroom observations; 3) data collection; and 4) structured reflective dialogue – all designed to enhance teaching practices.
Mutual Mentors uses a mixed learning modality: learn content via Canvas; practice skills during synchronous Zoom sessions; and apply during peer teaching observations. Earn points along the way, using a gamified approach, to earn a digital badge that can be used towards your own promotion and/or tenure. This work is not evaluative but rather voluntary, supportive, and collaborative.
Check out the website to learn more and register. Launching Week 1, via Canvas, Mutual Mentors will run concurrent with the Spring 2022 academic term. Complete the application to participate! Registration closes February 25, 2022.
Hosted by Kelby Hahn and Brooke Howland
