Graduate seminar in university teaching

This training is offered by GradProSkills. It is only open to graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. 

Advance registration is required. 

This seminar series in university teaching will prepare graduate students for an academic teaching career.

The total estimated time commitment for all sections is approximately 57 hours. This includes 35 hours of instruction + 20-25 hours of course work (readings & assignments).

There are four major assignments as part of this seminar which participants must complete in order to earn the certificate, which include:

· Writing a Teaching Philosophy Statement

· Developing a Concept Map for a course you would like to teach

· Teaching a 10-15 minute mini-lesson

· Developing an original Course syllabus for a course you would like to teach.

Feedback will be provided for assignments, but you will only receive a pass/fail.

Participants will receive a 35 hour certificate upon completion of seminar requirements. These requirements include attendance to all classes and completion of other instructional activities and assignments.

This is an in-person, weekly format of the seminar. We will meet for a full day of the seminar once every week, and there will be independent work on Moodle outside of class time.

Spots are limited. Register by Friday, September 5.
