Teaching Squares program

The Teaching Squares program is designed to improve teaching skills and build community through a non-threatening process of classroom observation and shared reflection. The process involves the best aspects of peer evaluation-obse​rvation and discussion-whil​e excluding judgment and evaluation. Participants in a square learn about the best practices of other faculty in order to improve their own teaching. See explanation linked here: ICC Teaching Squares Spring [PDF]

The UnderStudy Program at ICC
The UnderStudy program is inspired by the role of the understudy in theatre:

  • Should you be unable to teach a class, an understudy is willing to take over
  • Understudies are willing to cover a class at times but play other primary roles at the college on a regular basis
