Get supportive feedback to advance your teaching goals

Partnering with a knowledgeable, trusted observer can be a great way to explore how learning is happening in your course. We’ll work collaboratively with you to understand your goals and plan an observation session to gather relevant information. Then we’ll identify evidence-based strategies you may want to try and connect you with any additional resources you may need.
