Teaching Conversations
Many of us love talking about teaching, and peer collaboration is a powerful way to enhance teaching, build community, and improve student learning. To support UNC educators, CETL offers Teaching Conversations on higher education teaching and learning. These informal sessions allow educators to share their thoughts, experiences, and concerns on specific topics. Each Conversation is led by a UNC member with expertise in the topic, but the direction is shaped by the participants. Spring 2025 topics will include:
