Teachers Noticing Teachers (TNT)

The TNT initiative aims to foster a collaborative learning environment among faculty members at NNU. By participating in TNT, faculty members will have the opportunity to observe their peers' teaching methods, engage in reflective discussions, and integrate new strategies into their own classrooms. In short, TNT participants observe 1-2 peers throughout the semester and talk about it! The expected outcome of this initiative is the enhancement of teaching practices through increased collaboration and the sharing of teaching techniques. Review a program description and this semester's host schedules.

Dates: Various observations and debrief meetings throughout each semester
