Large Courses Community of Practice
intro
Whether you’re an experienced large course instructor or new to this format, find a supportive space to talk candidly with colleagues who understand the complexities of teaching at scale.
This informal, discussion-based group brings together instructors who regularly teach large courses to share teaching strategies, reflect on common struggles, celebrate successes, and learn from one another. Whether you’re a seasoned large-course instructor or newly navigating this course format, you’ll find support, practical ideas, and a space to talk candidly with colleagues who understand the complexities of teaching at scale. Monthly meeting topics will be participant-driven and facilitated by CATE staff.
