Teaching Circles
Based on a program developed at St. Louis Community College, McKendree University's
Faculty Teaching Circles provide a non-threatening forum for faculty to enhance their
teaching skills and build camaraderie. Faculty participants observe each other in
the classroom and then meet to discuss what constitutes effective teaching. The program
focuses on different teaching styles and other aspects of teaching, while eliminating
evaluations and judgments. If you are interested in joining or would like more information,
contact Ann Collins, Professor of Political Science, avcollins@mckendree.edu or (618)
537-6897.
