| Abstract: | The Teaching Squares Program involves the formation of a three or four member group of educators from different departments or disciplines. The diversity in knowledge and experience helps to promote cross-disciplinary learning and professional growth among teachers. Once the group has been formed, the teachers select a class they will each teach during the observation phase. Other teachers observe each instructor as they lead the students and engage with them. Participants then meet after they make their observations to provide feedback. The teachers meet regularly to provide feedback in a supportive and constructive manner. This article provides an overview of the Teaching Squares Program, discusses current literature, provides an example of Teaching Squares at the Community College of Baltimore County, and offers participant testimonials. |
