Teaching Communities

Advancing Teaching and Learning Through Community-Building

A teaching community is a group of people who meet regularly to discuss teaching and learning. Community members share experiences and expertise, exchange strategies and ideas, and explore solutions to teaching or learning challenges.

For the 2025-26 academic year we are introducing a phased model for Teaching Communities.

• If you expect to request funding for your TC, please submit your TC request by Sept 30 (or the next business day if Sept 30 falls on a weekend). Funding may not be available later in the year.
• Propose a new Teaching Community or renew your current Community:
  New Teaching Community
  Continuing Community
• TCs may submit a funding request of up to $500.
• TCs may request funding with the initial proposal or during the academic year.
• All TCs will be listed in SITE Teaching Community directory so that new members may join.
• TCs are asked to submit to SITE a brief paragraph summarizing the community's activity at end of the year.
