One of our signature CTEI Communities, Journal Club is a monthly get-together where members gather to share and discuss ideas on teaching, learning, and education more broadly. Discussions are guided by selected journal articles balancing theory and practice.

In 2026, we are meeting the second Wednesday of each month from 12:00-1:00pm AT / 1:00-2:00pm ET / 10:00-11:00am PT.
