The Teaching & Creativity Center invites all full-time and adjunct faculty to join our Critical Friends Groups for 2014-15.
A Critical Friends Group helps you reflect critically about your teaching among friends. CFGs are “trans-formational learning communities fiercely committed to educational equity and excellence.” -- School Reform Initiative mission statement
Critical Friends Groups are a nationwide professional development model established to improve student learning and success by supporting educators reflecting on and improving their practice. Protocols used during CFGs are similar to the two shared by Dr. Stephen Brookfield at our Teaching & Learning Conference (June 12th).
CFG’s are led by a trained facilitator and use structured protocols to look at:
-- curriculum
-- teaching dilemmas
-- student work
-- peer observations
-- pivotal moments
so that participants can provide each other with specific and actionable feedback.
We will be offering 3 CFGs for the 2014-15 academic year.
Please contact the facilitators (by June 30) for the group you would like to join:
