Upcoming Teaching Workshops!

OPD supports graduate students and postdocs teaching right now and helps prepare them for careers as teachers in higher education. 
 
Teaching Portfolios
Thursday, April 3rd - 12:00-12:45pm (online)
In this workshop, you will learn the essentials of crafting a teaching portfolio that showcases your effectiveness in the classroom. Topics will include the purpose, content, and format of the teaching portfolio. 
 
Teaching Statements
Thursday, April 17th - 12:00-1:30pm (online)
A teaching statement is a critical document for graduate students and postdocs who anticipate a career in teaching, whether at the college level or elsewhere. This interactive workshop will cover the basics, as well as what makes an excellent statement stand out! In addition, we will review examples of teaching statements. 
 
Reflect and Refine Your Teaching
Tuesday, May 13th - 12:30-1:45pm (515 Goodell)
Just as we encourage our students to reflect, it's time for us to do the same! In this interactive workshop (with pizza lunch), we'll analyze one of your classes that went well and one that could have gone better. Together, we'll uncover insights to help refine your teaching strategies. Join us to explore fresh ideas and set yourself up for success in the coming year – especially if you'll be teaching the same class again! This workshop is open to both TAs and instructors.
