First Winter 2018 GTC Meeting Today at 12:10 pm in Surge 3, Room 1352

[Gabriel La Hue]

Welcome to the Graduate Teaching Community!

Please join us for our first Winter 2018 meeting today at 12:10 pm

The aim of this group is to provide a space for graduate students and postdocs on the UC Davis campus to feel supported in their efforts to become better teachers. This is a place to discuss learning and teaching philosophy and practice. We meet with the purpose of creating opportunities for collaborative interdisciplinary professional development in a community of practice.

Why the GTC?

· Do you want to know what the research on learning shows?  To discuss implementation of instruction and high impact strategies that lead to better learning outcomes?

· Do you want to equip yourself with the language and skills of sound learner centered, research-based pedagogy?

· Do you want to add certificates of participation to your CV - to provide talking points in potential interviews that may differentiate you from similarly situated candidates in the job market?

· Do you want to collaborate with graduate students outside of your home departments and/or learning groups?

If you answer "yes" to any (or all) of these questions . . . our Graduate Teaching Community is an opportunity for you.
