Graduate Teaching Practicum

Catalog description

This graduate practicum is offered to students in the Health and Human Services PhD program as an experiential learning opportunity to develop their teaching skills. Full time faculty in all ranks who teach graduate and undergraduate students are eligible to mentor students. Students will work with their mentor to refine a course or lab, develop a lesson, deliver content, supervise students and class activities, and assess student performance. Students are expected to deliver at least three in-class lectures, and the faculty mentor must observe and provide written feedback at mid-semester and end-of-semester outlining strengths and recommendations for improving the student's teaching.
