Fundamentals Of Scientific Teaching And Pedagogy

Catalog description

A ten session course run each summer for graduate students and postdocs to bolster teaching proficiency through in depth and interactive sessions on the science behind student learning, scientific teaching, assessments and rubrics, active learning, project based learning, teaching technology, inclusive teaching and universal design, classroom and course management, and course design. Participants will learn through both lecture and practicum sessions each week, and will work in small groups to develop a short teachable unit incorporating the techniques learned throughout the course, which they will ultimately present at the conclusion of the series. Students will also individually develop their own statement of teaching philosophy and receive feedback on this document, a required document for most faculty job applications.
