College Teaching Preparation

Catalog description

The goal of College Teaching Preparation is to introduce graduate students and postdoctoral scholars who want to learn the fundamentals of teaching and learning in higher education at this level. Together, we will explore evidence-based strategies for good teaching practice by means of intentional course design (writing learning objectives, preparing aligned assessment tasks, as well as choosing the methods of instruction that best align with these. Class members will have the opportunity to engage with one another using texts and other materials, sourced from the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) literature, in active seminar-style classes.
