Faculty-to-Faculty (F2F) began at UGA in 2024 to foster a culture of pedagogical excellence and informal mentoring within our academic community. Through F2F, expert teachers are invited to open their classrooms and studios to colleagues from across the university, creating opportunities for observation, dialogue, and professional growth in the spirit of making teaching more public.
**The next iteration of F2F will be February 2027.**
How does it work?
Small groups of faculty observe the host of their choice teaching a class, rehearsal, or lab, then meet with the host to discuss the pedagogy, rather than the content. The program encourages cross-disciplinary learning and collaboration so many guests choose observation opportunities outside their disciplines.
After observations, guests meet as a group with their host to discuss the featured pedagogy, gaining insights into effective teaching practices, diverse teaching styles, innovative techniques, assessment methods, and classroom management. Participants are also able to build connections across disciplines.
All participants are invited to a celebration at the end of the semester.
