Nancy Markowitz

Faculty-in-Residence

Elementary Education, Professor

Nancy will facilitate monthly conversations and each participating faculty will have the opportunity to observe someone else teach and to learn from that peer collaboration. This faculty peer observation-collaboration format was first used in the Teacher-Scholars program, and was found to be both enjoyable and instructive.

The Professional Dialogs in Teaching Learning Community meets once a month this fall. Participants attend either on a Tuesday or a Wednesday.
