Why join a CoP?

CoPs are cohort-based programs that meet regularly to build community, relationships, networks, and knowledge. Instructors who participate in CoPs can develop a greater sense of belonging and self-efficacy while supporting continuous improvement of teaching. At CITL we offer a variety of CoPs every semester with different modalities, durations, and themes. Explore our upcoming options below.

When you register for a CoP you are committing to all events in the series – so please mark your calendars and plan accordingly!
