Critical Friends Groups, organized out of the TLCs
Educators across the nation are discovering the value of working in collaborative groups to talk over their teaching successes and challenges. This summer, 14 instructors from PCC were trained in one of the most successful formats for collaboration, Critical Friends. Groups of 8 to 10 instructors are forming now.
