Description
The Teaching Roundtable Program, coordinated by the Rice Center for Teaching at Williams College, offers faculty the opportunity to join self-governed groups to collaboratively discuss and develop effective pedagogical practices. These groups, typically composed of four faculty members, meet regularly throughout a semester to exchange ideas, observe each other's teaching, and foster collegiality in a non-evaluative, supportive environment. The program aims to encourage innovation in teaching and build lasting professional relationships among participants.
