The Teaching Partners program promotes the exchange of effective and innovative teaching strategies. Teaching Partners was initiated by the College of Arts and Sciences and is now available to all faculty at UWF.

The Teaching Partners program is designed to:

• Encourage the development and exchange of successful and novel teaching practices at UWF.
• Fulfill UWF’s strategic priority of inspiring and achieving the highest levels of student learning, creativity, and success that encourages the development of individual potential in students, faculty, and staff.
• Facilitate peer reviews of teaching.
• Supplement departmental mentoring programs.
• Provide a mechanism for creating a teaching mentor component for faculty who wish to develop a mutual mentoring team.

Faculty members who enroll in Teaching Partners will partner with one or more faculty members based on their teaching background and interests. Teaching Partners will visit each other’s classes to learn about and share teaching practices and styles.

Any faculty member at UWF can participate in the Teaching Partners program.
