The EDC offers two avenues to help grad students develop their teaching skills and prepare them for a role as an educator.
Preparing to Teach
Specifically geared towards PhD candidates who are preparing for a career in academia, this program gives participants hands-on experience with a range of teaching and assessment methods, teaches them to manage both large and small classes, and addresses teaching and learning issues particular to their disciplines. This program will run Tuesdays from 1 – 4 p.m., starting January 28 and ending April 1. There will be no class during the winter reading week (Feb. 17-21).
Graduate Student Learning Community
This program provides a supportive environment in which community members apply their knowledge to develop an effective teaching dossier to submit with academic job applications. The winter 2014 GSLC will meet once every two weeks between Wednesday, January 22 and Wednesday, April 2 from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. Don’t miss your opportunity to join this dynamic group and prepare for your future role as an educator.
