**Practice sessions will be scheduled at various times throughout the week of October 26.** Check the Canvas course in September to indicate your preference of teaching practice times.
Teaching Practice is a teaching improvement technique that involves an instructor delivering a mini-lesson (10-12 minutes) to a small group of peers in order to receive detailed feedback on their teaching effectiveness. It is a great opportunity for instructors to try new teaching strategies in a safe environment.
