• Create a sense of community in the classroom. When students feel that they are a part of a community instead of isolated individuals, their learning is increased, there is more mutual support, and they are more likely to complete the course.
• Develop faculty teaching and classroom management skills. Performing, as distinct from "entertaining," is at the heart of master-level teaching. We enhance educators' ability to be comfortable, clear and present in front of students. We also provide TA training.
