About Teaching Triangles
The Teaching Triangles program gives faculty a chance to gain new insight into their teaching through a non-evaluative process of classroom observation and self-reflection. The program’s four cornerstones are reciprocity and shared responsibility, appreciation, self-referential reflections, and mutual respect.
A Teaching Triangle consists of three faculty members who, in a mutually supportive and respectful manner, will:
- Observe at least one class taught by each Triangle partner (online or in-person)
- Reflect on the class observation experience
- Share reflections with Triangle partners
- Share general reflections and observations with all participants at the end
Teaching Triangles are meant to spur personal reflection rather than peer evaluation. The program offers guidance and a gentle structure. This ensures that participants focus their conversations on what they’ve learned about their own teaching from the observation process and avoid commenting directly on their colleagues’ performance.
Commitment:
Teaching Triangle members commit to attending an initial meeting to discuss logistics and establish expectations with colleagues in their Triangle. They also commit to visiting the other members’ classes at least once and then meeting again for a follow-up meeting.
Participants typically complete the Teaching Triangles program over a single term and can repeat the program as many times as they wish.
Facilitators: Bettina Boyle & Lydia Watson
