Communities of Practice
Communities of practice are groups of practitioners who share a common interest or knowledge who meet regularly to learn, grow, and build community.
The Center for Teaching and Learning wants to support your communities of practice, working groups, book discussion groups, teaching observation circles, and more. If you've got an idea that contributes to CTL's mission, then CTL wants to contribute to your idea.
During the times your CoP meets, you can charge a lunch at the dining hall or snacks from the library cafe to the Center for Teaching and Learning. Here's how:
- Join an existing CTL community of practice below. If you're interested in joining a CoP, email the coordinator to learn more.
- Start your own CTL community of practice by completing and submitting the CTL CoP form. The CTL director will respond via email to coordinate a time for you to pick up the CTL CoP card.
