WHAT WE DO

We Engage Instructors

The P3 Collaboratory is committed to institutional interventions that support faculty development over the lifecycle of an academic career. There is no substitute for individual discussion with a P3 staff member about one's teaching style, classroom goals, and interaction with students.

We Support Student Success

The P3 Collaboratory is dedicated to equitable learning environments designed to provide a robust and innovative selection of targeted instruction and activities that will inspire, inform, and enhance the educational experience for both students and faculty.

We Explore Technology

Instructors at Rutgers-Newark can take advantage of resources to be innovative in the classroom which includes interdisciplinary methods and new technology as forms of pedagogy.

We Work Together

As an anchor institution, Rutgers-Newark is committed to addressing in collaboration with community partners the complex needs of the city which we are imbedded, and to the degree that these needs represent global issues, far beyond the boarders of Newark and New Jersey.
