Location: Vershbow Computer Classroom (in Goldfarb Library, top floor)
The Center for Teaching and Learning and the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion would like to invite you to participate in a new Graduate Student Pedagogy Seminar this September 9th and 10th (10am - 3pm both days, with lunch provided).
This two-day seminar consists of four workshops in which graduate students will learn how to teach and design courses that are effective, inclusive, engaging, and equity-centered by exploring a range of pedagogical strategies and techniques. Participants will learn how to lead challenging conversations about race and incorporate active learning to create dynamic learning environments that are culturally responsive. Students will be encouraged to think critically about their own teaching practices and to consider new approaches that are grounded in educational research.
The Graduate Student Pedagogy Seminar is open to all graduate students, and all are welcome. Participants will receive a $200 stipend in recognition of their time.
Thank you for your interest, but this seminar is filled to capacity. Please see our Grad Student Pedagogy Workshops for additional learning opportunities and please feel free to reach out to Marty and Chip.

This seminar is a collaboration between Dr. Chip Mc Neal (ODEI) and Dr. Marty Samuels (CTL). If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to them.
