Three departments at the United States Air Force Academy successfully used a microteaching model to train new faculty. Like other models, its structured approach used videotaping and peer coaching. The model also contained several unique features, including a cross‐disciplinary approach to supplement feedback from department members and focused small group feedback with built‐in preparation time. Thus, this model results not only in enhanced teaching performance, but also in departmental and institutional collegiality.
