Small Teaching Online
How the Small Teaching Online Book Club Works:
This BookClub follows a hybrid course model. Participants consist of alums already in the club and newbies who wish to join. Everyone will read the text, engage in our hybrid Blackboard course and attend a series of 3-hour in-person workshops offered throughout the semester/year. Each workshop will have culminating activities rounding out the learning done in the hybrid course. Look to the right to check our upcoming workshops.
Once you're in the club, you will receive invitations to upcoming workshops.
