Graduate education at the University of Wisconsin–Madison
Delta’s Research Mentor Learning Communities are for graduate students and postdocs who are mentoring and for whom mentoring may be an important part of their future career. Several sections available, online or in-person.
This seminar supports graduate students and postdocs who are completing teaching-as-research projects in the Delta Internship Program. Interns develop, teach, and evaluate literature-informed teaching plans that aim to improve learning in a classroom, lab, outreach program, or any other learning context. In the process, you’ll learn how to become a reflective practitioner of evidence-based teaching, network with other people excited about teaching, and prepare for success in your future career. Wednesdays 1:20-3pm, starting September 2.
Use experiential learning to explore evidence-based and inclusive teaching approaches within different higher education learning contexts. Learn effective approaches to course design and instruction through foundational concepts and observed practice. Tuesdays 10am-noon, starting September 8.
Join us to explore how to effectively use active learning in a variety of teaching and learning contexts. This course will take a "learning by doing" approach, with opportunities to examine, experience, and try out various active learning instructional methods in the college classroom. Mondays 10am - noon, starting September 7.
Develop foundational knowledge of evidence-based pedagogical practices, explore the literature in higher ed teaching and learning, try new approaches in a supportive environment, and prepare for a successful academic career. Meets Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11am-12:15pm, starting September 3.
