Do you need practical strategies for facilitating community-building discussions with colleagues?

Are you seeking ways to build a supportive and professional math faculty community that encourages the sharing of innovative teaching practices and enhance collaboration?

By connecting through community circles, faculty can create a space for reflective dialogue, tackle classroom challenges together, and strengthen a collective approach to improve student outcomes. Community circles in your classroom can create an inclusive learning environment where students can share their ideas and collaborate with others through active participation that promotes deeper engagement with math concepts.
