The Teaching Laboratory provides free videotaping and consulting services to teachers who want to examine their classroom performance, practice their lectures, or simply discuss their teaching. All videotapes of classes and practice sessions, and discussions between teaching fellows and teaching consultants, are considered strictly confidential. The center also provides forums for exchanging ideas about teaching, original publications on issues of college pedagogy, and an orientation for new teachers. |
