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. Thursdays 1:20-3pm, starting September 4.
