TEACH Lunch Series: Are you having problems coming up with a TEACH project? Then don’t miss this week’s TEACH Lunch Series! Several of last year’s TEACH fellows will be there to talk to you about their TEACH project and what it takes to be successful in that endeavor. We’ll meet in room 153 from 12:00-1:00 and lunch will be served. Be sure to register online so we can get a head count for food.

Registration for your fall workshop hours was due last Friday. If you haven’t signed up for at least 10 hours, please be sure to go online and sign up for more classes!

Please set up an appointment with your consultants for your fall peer group consultation by Friday, September 19th. Remember that the observations don’t have to be done by Friday…just the final meeting date. If you have any questions, please let your consultant know!
