In fall 2024, CAS launched faculty peer coaching groups. In November, the Peer Coaching Group Kick Off, facilitated by the Director of UW’s ADVANCE Center for Institutional Change, provided an overview of the Peer Coaching Circle (PCC) model and demonstrated how to use it. Following the meeting, participants wereplaced in coaching groups and provided the tools to conduct regular meetings with your PCC.
Beyond just community-building, these meetings provide a structured space for individuals to receive targeted feedback on specific challenges they face, foster accountability through the creation of personal contracts, and enable participants to reflect on common themes that can drive collective growth and innovation. This approach supports not only the creation of a supportive network but also the practical, day-to-day advancement of each participant's professional goals.
This opportunity is available to tenure-track, teaching, and research faculty of all ranks in the College. If you are interested in a peer coaching group, we plan to start a new cohort in Fall 2025.
