This fall CAS is launching faculty peer coaching groups. On November 15 from 1:30-3:30 in the Denny Room of Oak Hall, our Peer Coaching Group Kick Off, facilitated by the Director of UW’s ADVANCE Center for Institutional Change, will provide an overview of the Peer Coaching Circle (PCC) model and demonstrate how to use it. Following the meeting, participants will be placed in coaching groups and provided the tools to conduct regular meetings with your PCC.
Beyond just community-building, these meetings will 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.
*Please note that the UW ADVANCE offers peer coaching groups to research and tenure-track faculty in ADVANCE units (which includes faculty in the Natural Sciences Division). UW ADVANCE will have their peer coaching kick off on Nov. 19 and form groups shortly thereafter. The content will be the same as that presented at the Nov. 15 event for CAS faculty in all divisions. Natural Science research and tenure track faculty will be matched in ADVANCE groups rather than the CAS groups (those who would rather be matched in CAS groups should let ADVANCE know).*
