Purpose and Description

This learning community will provide an opportunity for participants to examine their own teaching practices by evaluating models for “good teaching” and exploring behaviors that can be adopted, adapted, and refined through learning and reflection. Participants will be using the Critical Teaching Behaviors (CTB) framework to analyze, document, and discuss their teaching.

Program Goals

1. Identifying and defining good teaching practices
2. Examining best practices for documenting and describing good
   teaching
3. Implementing research-based, effective teaching behaviors
4. Creating a core value teaching statement that motivates participants’
   approach to teaching

Selection Criteria

The facilitator will select up to twelve participants. Preference will be given to NFTEP participants from 2025 and 2026. Criteria for selection include a commitment to examining personal teaching practices; a level of interest in the program; an openness to new ideas; and the potential for contributions to the program. Participants will be chosen to create a diverse group representing a variety of disciplines, experiences, and needs.
