Building Community through Collaborative Learning

About

The 2025 Teaching Guide produced by the Teaching Academy focuses on ways to build community through collaborative learning. The authors who contributed to this volume come from a range of different disciplines, such as architecture, planning, and landscape; medicine; kinesiology, social work, education, and the social sciences.

The nine chapters included in this guide explore how educators can facilitate collaborative learning among students to build cohesive learning communities (Chapters 1-5), how educators collaborate to engage students I community-building learning (Chapters 6 and 7), and how educators can collaborate to develop powerful learning experiences for students and other educators (Chapters 8 and 9).
