Members will learn strategies for making courses more engaging, teaching content more effectively, improving and assessing student mastery, while enhancing professionalism and the intrinsic rewards and joys of teaching.
Cohorts are formed at the beginning of each semester and last for two semesters. Cohorts meet face-to-face usually every other week during a semester based on the availability of the interested instructors.
