The emphasis is on tangible, student-centered strategies for designing and delivering courses with a rotating thematic focus reflecting current trends and concerns in higher education. Dates: February 23- March 23, 2026
The Teaching and Learning Community meets every 4-6 weeks during the academic year, providing a virtual space where participants can receive support in their teaching practice.
Discussions during the community meetings are facilitated by the Teaching and Learning Fellows and center on topics that are of interest to the participants.
Topics for this year include: alternative approaches to grading/ungrading, feedback, fostering deeper learning and engagement through beautiful questions, mental health and well-being (student and faculty).
Meetings every 4- 6 weeks and an online group space provides the opportunity to engage in faculty from across the country.
