#  Teach Partnerships 

 



##  Collaborate with the DCE Course Design Team to transform your course 

The Teach Partnership program pairs DCE instructors with learning designers to bring engaging, student-centered innovations to life. Whether it’s rethinking an assignment, piloting a new approach, or developing media, our collaborative projects are grounded in authentic engagement, real-world skill development, and deep learning.
