<p style="background:white"><i><span style="color:#4472C4">*** The following message is sent on behalf of the Teacher Engagement Program (TEP) and Angie Whalen:</span></i></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="color:#242424">Dear</span><span style="color:black"> COE</span><span style="color:#242424"> Faculty,</span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="color:black">This is a reminder of the TEP stipended “teaching triangles” opportunity that is open to faculty who are teaching a class this spring term<b>. I’ve extended the deadline to send me applications to close
of business this Thursday, April 4<sup>th</sup></b>. Please see below for details and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!</span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="color:black">Angie</span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="color:#242424"><br>
Stipends are available to support up to three Teaching Triangles in the College of Education during the upcoming spring term. A Teaching Triangle consists of three faculty members who observe one another’s teaching and meet to share formative feedback.<br>
<br>
Separate from the peer review process associated with teaching evaluation for merit, promotion, and tenure, Teaching Triangles are meant to be collegial opportunities to foster relationships, get a sense of how fellow faculty approach and teach their courses,
and develop ideas for improving teaching. Ideally, participants will continue to see each other as friendly colleagues with whom to talk about teaching even after the formal, stipended program concludes. </span></p>
<p class="elementtoproof" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#242424">Members of the teaching triangle commit to three main tasks: </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#242424;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Meeting to discuss their courses, the specific goals each instructor has for the session their colleagues will observe, and any particular areas on which they
would welcome feedback. <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#242424;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Observing each of their Triangle colleagues’ courses and, ideally, trying out the unit’s peer review template, which is included in its Peer Review of Teaching
Policy. <o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#242424;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Gathering to discuss what they saw, giving both formative feedback to the instructor and reflecting on how their own teaching practice could develop as a result
of what they saw in their colleagues’ classes. <o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
<p class="elementtoproof" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#242424">In addition, we will invite participants to a closing celebration in Finals Week. Participating in a Teaching Triangle will require about 10
hours over the course of spring term. Each member of the Teaching Triangle will receive a $500+OPE stipend.
</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="elementtoproof" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;background:white"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#242424">If you are interested in participating in a Triangle, gather two colleagues and send Angie Whalen your names and spring term courses you’ll
be teaching. Please indicate whether the courses are in person, online, or involve supervision. DEADLINE: Wednesday, April 3rd.</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="elementtoproof" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#242424">Three COE groups will be selected by April 5<sup>th</sup>, with priority given to groups of COE faculty who will be teaching online courses
or who will be supervising students in clinic or PK-12 settings as part of their courses. We invite you to think broadly when assembling your triangle: how might the group benefit by having members from multiple programs or departments? If one member is teaching
a small class and another a large class? Non-majors, majors, and graduate level courses? </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="elementtoproof" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#242424">The Teaching Triangles program is a pilot funded by the UO’s Howard Hughes Medical Institute Inclusive Excellence grant. Funding is currently limited to a few triangles in
a select group of units in hopes of gathering feedback and refining the program. Participate this spring to get in on the ground floor and help shape the program</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
