In addition to facilitating our ongoing programs, Poorvu Center fellows develop new workshops and resources for graduate and postdoctoral instructors. Over the past few years, new workshops have included Trauma-Informed Teaching, Teaching Iteratively and Sustainably, and Online Teaching. Look over our current workshop offerings [3]. Based on these offerings, and your own experience, identify one aspect of graduate and postdoctoral instructor preparation that you feel needs attention and describe a workshop that you might develop to address it. Your proposal may include a current workshop offered by the Poorvu Center that needs revision or redirection. (250 words max.)
