How can we help?

The Center for Collaboration and Inquiry (CCI) will work with individual instructors, departments, or larger groups of faculty to help provide the necessary resources to promote effective teaching and learning. Potential CCI roles might include:

• Conducting confidential peer reviews of an instructor's class using recognized instruments such as the Reformed Teaching Observation Protocol (RTOP).
  
  
• Mentoring of instructors (in combination with peer review) about potential teaching and/or learning strategies that would be appropriate for specific classes.
  
  
• Providing access to resources such as classroom assessment techniques or research articles to meet instructor's teaching/learning goals.
  
  
• Assisting in facilitating and planning departmental discussions or workshops designed to address teaching and learning issues.
