The Teaching Conversations Community of Practice is open to any faculty or staff member with a
teaching role at Iowa State University. The purpose of this community is to:
• Support instructors in their continued growth as teachers.
• Build connections across disciplines.
• Share strategies for effective teaching and learning.
Sessions will usually start with a brief conversation centered on a topic related to teaching (no
required pre-reading). The remainder of the session will provide participants with the
opportunity to discuss their teaching, brainstorm ideas, and share feedback.
