Peer Teaching

Our model for teaching is through a reflective method. Not only do we expect students and faculty to work鈥搊r reflect鈥搊ff of each other, but from the very first courses, students will be presented with opportunities to engage in peer teaching during class. Through both individual and group work, this will give students a chance to reflect on their experiences and work.
