Exploratory Teaching GroupsAccepting Proposals in Summer 2024 Exploratory Teaching Groups (ETGs) provide faculty and instructors a collaborative framework to explore and discuss ideas, issues, and challenges in their teaching.

ETG proposals are welcome on any topic, the format is flexible, and funding is available for groups to purchase resources for facilitating group activities. Possible formats include a pedagogical reading group, a series of structured discussions or workshops around a theme, a “working group” that tackles a particular topic or project, and so on.
