WELCOME TO THE GRADUATE TEACHING COMMUNITY!

The aim of this group is to provide a space for graduate students and post-docs 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.
