This community provides opportunities to network with faculty, across disciplines and colleges, to discuss teaching and learning at Lehigh. Topics vary each semester based on interest (e.g. fostering student engagement, assessment strategies, managing large enrollment courses, guidance from peers on challenges related to course instruction). The Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning facilitates meetings and selects topics and readings based on mutual interest and crowdsourced recommendations from the community.
For the Fall 2026 semester, we are excited to partner with the Pride Center and the Humanities Center to focus our conversations on the theme of inclusive teaching (e.g., strategies for engaging all students, enhancing instructional design, and using educational technologies to improve every student’s learning experience). We look to participants to identify areas of interest, readings, and media related to our theme of inclusive teaching. Facilitators will gather materials into a crowdsourced list, identify sub-themes, and distribute 2–3 items for the group to review ahead of in-person meetings. Participants will also have the opportunity to develop an individual or group equity project, with that work shared on a Lehigh digital platform and/or event focused on inclusive teaching.
