Teaching & Learning Community of Practice 2018-2019
Coffee Meetings
The goal of these meetings is to build a community around teaching and learning practices in the Department of Psychology. Some of the teaching stream faculty will commit to meeting for coffee in the Psychology Lounge once a month to discuss topics around our teaching practice. All are invited - staff, graduate students, instructors, tenure-stream faculty, and teaching-stream faculty from all departments. No teaching experience is necessary - newcomers are most welcome! While each meeting will have a specific topic and discussion leader, we can also use these meetings to share ideas, ask questions, and get advice about our general teaching-related challenges..
Meetings will take place from 3:30 - 4:30 p.m. in the Psychology Department lounge, room 4043 Sidney Smith Hall, 100 St. George Street. Coffee and treats will also be provided.Winter 2019
