Meetings are scheduled for Wednesdays from 12:00-2:00 during the Spring 2020 semester on the following dates: February 5 and 19; March 4 and 18; April 1, 24 (Friday, Online), and 29; May 1 (Friday, CTL Teaching Showcase) Lunch will be provided, and all participants will receive a copy of How Learning Works.
