Participants II: PhD students not supported by GAANN.
COURSE SYLLABUS
Course Objectives
This course guides you through a Teaching Experience that is meant to inform and prepare you for careers in the professoriate. GAANN Fellows are required to successfully complete four semesters of this course, as well as all other activities related to the Teaching Experience. All other PhD students are encouraged to complete two semesters of this course.
Also, all students taking the course are required to build their TEACHING PORTFOLIOS which should document the development of knowledge and skills about teaching
and learning over time as well as personal responses to classroom experiences. The portfolios may include course syllabi, statement of teaching philosophy, assignments,
examples of student work and course evaluations, and reflections on steps taken to enhance
teaching effectiveness. The portfolio should provide a way for PhD students to present a portrait of
themselves as teachers for personal development as well as to provide a core of material to be
used in their future applications for faculty positions, as increasingly, teaching portfolios are a
required part of application processes at many institutions.
