Join a Fall Teaching Circle

A teaching circle is a small group of teachers who come together to have robust discussions about a teaching and learning topic. For more information about the purpose and organization of teaching circles at RIT, please see the our overview of the Teaching Circle Program.

Faculty who participated in a teaching circle said some of the best aspects were:

• Sharing of best practices.
• Sense of community and purpose.
• The small group atmosphere.
• Feeling supported trying new things.
• Gaining insights, strategies, and teaching recommendations from other faculty.
• Making new connections across disciplines.
• I enjoyed being able to interact with faculty who I wouldn't normally meet.
• Community! I made new friends and collaborators from wildly different parts of campus.
