Event Description 

This four-part workshop series is designed to provide new physics graduate students with an introduction to pedagogical practices, supporting their development as effective and engaging educators. The workshops will discuss various fundamental teaching practices with examples pertaining to the physics classroom, such as fostering a supportive and equitable learning environment for students, in-classroom and one-on-one teaching strategies, and appropriate grading practices. Students will learn evidence based teaching principles and develop concrete strategies to use in their own classrooms. By the end of this series, students will feel confident and excited to approach the upcoming semester of teaching!
