Fall 2022 semester |
4Square offers faculty at any stage in their career an opportunity to gain insight into their teaching. This is done through a process of class observations which are not evaluative nor judgmental, as well as self-reflection. The four faculty in each square group visit one another’s classes over the course of a semester, and then come together to discuss what was seen and learned. The purpose of 4-square is to create a new space for faculty to connect and reflect regarding instruction. Time commitment is approximately 8 hours over the semester. This is considered FQAS Instructional excellence professional development. Audience: LTC Faculty |
