New Faculty Community of Practice on Teaching at UMaine
In-person preferred, but we can accommodate hybrid if you need to be remote.
Biweekly, Tuesdays from 3:00-4:00pm
Together, explore and learn about UMaine’s students, policies, and develop a strong foundation of teaching skills through the exploration of case studies and actual scenarios from the classroom. In parallel we will work on developing your teaching development plan to help guide your teaching goals at UMaine. A great way to meet colleagues and learn more about UMaine, teaching, and your own professional development.
