An Introduction to Teaching Squares: A Peer Observation Program

The TILT-sponsored Teaching Squares offers teaching faculty an opportunity to observe colleagues in action and reflect on their own teaching practices. A teaching square is a group of four instructors who agree to observe each other a few times during a semester, using an agreed upon set of observation norms. Participants are coached in setting a personal teaching goal “‹using the Teaching Effectiveness Framework and then observe others to give feedback and reflect on their own practice. The program is designed to be a non-evaluative, supportive and growth-based process. Teaching Squares are available for faculty teaching residential, hybrid, and online courses. Attend this informational session to see if Teaching Squares is a good fit for you!
