Faculty members can participate in Course Mentor groups with focus areas—teaching large courses, online teaching, difficult classroom conversations, social identities, authentic assessment, experiential learning, and engaging with the literature. Each group will meet six times during the fall semester and is led by an Exemplar Faculty Member and an instructional designer. Apply to participate. Contact petal@miami.edu for more information and read more about the program.
