PhD candidates interested in pursuing a career in academia can now register for the winter 2014 cohort of the EDC\u2019s Preparing to Teach program.<\/p>\n
The program consists of nine three-hour sessions during which participants gain hands-on experience with a range of teaching and assessment methods, learn how to manage small and large classes, and address teaching and learning issues particular to their disciplines.<\/p>\n
Although informed by theory, the focus will be on teaching practice. Participants will develop new course materials and try out various teaching approaches within a supportive peer environment.<\/p>\n
The winter cohort of the program will run Tuesdays from 1 \u2013 4 p.m. beginning January 28 and ending April 1. There will be no class during the winter reading week (Feb. 17-21).<\/p>\n
