A teaching consultation is a commonly used method of continual professional enrichment, allowing you time and space to gather feedback, reflect on your teaching practices and brainstorm ideas and techniques to improve student learning.

What is a teaching consultation?
Teaching consultations with OTL staff members are confidential meetings driven by the goals and interests of the faculty member. Following a consultation you receive a letter documenting the visit, which you can use in any way you choose.
Teaching consultations may include:
- Discussion and feedback about a particular teaching method or assignment, or review of a syllabus or course plan.
- Discussion and brainstorming about issues, concerns, or new ideas in your teaching practice.
- Video recording of a class session followed by a personal consultation.
- In-person class observation by an OTL consultant, followed with a personal consultation.
