Topics to be investigated include planning and organizing for teaching, effective instructional strategies, assessing teaching and learning and documenting teaching effectiveness.

Several weekly meetings will be scheduled during the quarter, and participation in the group will require about as much commitment as a two-credit hour course.

Group members will investigate specific topics before each meeting, discuss topics with other participants and apply principles learned to their classes.
