Foundations of College Teaching
Foundations of College TeachingFall 2022
This is a set of 11 hands-on workshops that introduce and provide guidance on basic levels of high-priority teaching skills. The workshops are designed for educators who have had modest amounts of mentoring or guidance on effective teaching.
Workshops may be of special interest to faculty who are industry experts hired as lecturers with minimal or no prior college-level teaching experience as well as to new PhDs from degree programs that had few opportunities to develop teaching skills. Any educator interested in updating and refreshing their teaching knowledge and skills is also welcome.
