Faculty members can sign up for peer coaching designed to support development of your personal career goals.  Coaches are also faculty members who have been trained and certified as coaches. If you are interested in receiving coaching or in being a coach please contact us.

Peer 2 Peer Observation of Teaching

The Office of CPD can assist in matching you to a colleague for peer feedback on your teaching in a formative atmosphere.  Peer observation can be done in the classroom, small groups, in your virtual teaching, and when possible in the clinical setting.
