Building Your Support Network: Peer Mentorship & Community for Faculty Well-being - Teaching Commons

This session outlines strategies for connecting with colleagues, establishing peer mentorship relationships, and leveraging faculty communities for shared support, professional development, problem-solving, and stress reduction. 

Some of the options presented (with guiding resources) include communities of practice (connecting with existing CoPs and developing more), mentoring relationships, teaching triangles/squares, discussion and reflection circles, other peer observation groups and practices as well as in-department/faculty and cross-departmental/faculties opportunities with some suggestions on how to initiate each.
