A limited number of opportunities to work confidentially, one-on-one with a teaching consultant from the outside are available.  The consultant we have been using is T. J. Mueller, formerly of the Harvey Mudd College Biology Department.  Mr. Mueller describes his services as follows:

Dr. T. J. Mueller is a teaching consultant who has worked with faculty all over Claremont and in many disciplines.  He is a neutral, experienced and confidential observer of classroom pedagogy who can assist you to improve your students' learning through more productive classroom discussions, active learning, inquiry-based learning or just better lectures.  His "teaching coaching" is individualized.  He will listen to your concerns and help you identify and implement classroom techniques that fit your subject and teaching style.

Typically the consultant will sit in on a class and then have a discussion with the faculty member.  This exchange of teaching ideas with an experienced teacher may result in changes in the course and further visits by the consultant. The discussions between the consultant and the faculty member are confidential and only for the benefit of the faculty member.  Mr. Mueller is especially interested in exploring alternatives to the lecture method.  If you are interested in this program, you may contact Mr. Mueller directly at tj@tjmueller.com or contact Assistant Dean Kristin Fossum for further information.
