OFE offers events, workshops, programs, and group or individual teaching consultations throughout the academic year. Offerings are based on research but focused on providing options based on concrete, usable strategies and best practices. OFE offerings are free and open to the Montclair community by registration.

Schedule a confidential, no-judgment teaching conversation with an expert instructor by clicking the "Schedule an Appointment" tab below or visiting Teaching Consultations. We offer support on issues such as course pace, activity design, plans for absent students, and engaging students in reading and discussion.
