Teaching Squares

Teaching squares are groups of four faculty members who visit each other’s classes -- to learn from each other, not to evaluate each other -- once or twice, and then get together to debrief and discuss what they learned from the experiences. (Groups of three may also form a Teaching Triangle.)

How Can the Endeavor Center Help?  To support the exploratory and self-reflective goals of the program, the Endeavor Center can help with any of the following:

• recommendations for the class visits and/or the debrief,
• supporting the debrief conversation with up to $200 reimbursement for a meal, and/or
• if needed, finding colleagues to participate with you. (Fill out this form to indicate your interest.)
