Teaching Pairs

Faculty are invited to connect across disciplines through the Teaching Pairs program!

Registration Deadline: Friday, January 30, 2026.

In this program, faculty pair up to observe each other in their teaching, with each participant gaining the opportunity to observe and be observed. Participants are each paired with a faculty member from another department to gain new insight on their teaching through a guided non-evaluative process of reciprocal classroom observation and self-reflection. 

The goal of Teaching Pairs is to encourage a respectful and mutually supportive experience to reflect and connect on teaching in a formative and inspiring environment. 

Participants attend a kick-off meeting early in the semester to learn about the observation process, share goals, and coordinate schedules with their observation partner. At the end of the semester, participants reconvene for a debrief and celebration to share reflections and ideas to implement in future teaching.
