Collaborative Teaching Meetups

We will explore the whys and hows and hangups of collaborative teaching through discussion, panels, and light reading. Topics will include, but aren’t limited to, developing a shared teaching philosophy, surfacing power dynamics, student perceptions of co-instruction, and learning from the practical experiences of long-term co-instructors. Our time together will be shaped by participants’ interests, and we will foreground the UVA context.

Future meetings will be determined by the group’s availability. If you are interested but unable to attend the first meeting, please email Lynn Mandeltort at lam9fg@virginia.edu to stay in the loop.

N.B. What do we mean by collaborative teaching? Collaborative teaching involves an appreciable degree of shared responsibility for all aspects of instruction within a single course, typically within the same section(s) – i.e., students can expect to see either or both instructors throughout the semester. If you teach in a “coordinated” course of many sections, you are welcome to attend and explore possibilities for collaboration in those arrangements.
