Fundamentals of Teaching, Physics (4 Sessions - 9/8, 9, 14 & 15)
This mandatory 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 physics subject matter, such as session preparation, in-classroom strategies, and appropriate grading practices. Students will learn evidence based teaching principles, develop concrete strategies to use in their own classrooms, and put these ideas into practice through a hands-on lesson planning activity.
