Featured Program

Open Classroom Weeks

February 16 - 27, 2026

Open Classroom Weeks provides you with the opportunity to sit in on a colleague's course not as an evaluator, but as a learner. By attending a colleague's class, you can observe innovative teaching practices across disciplines, explore fresh strategies for engagement and assessment, spark ideas you can adapt for your own courses, and build relationships.
