Work with an experienced instructor in your discipline to enhance your understanding and experience of teaching a university course in this semester-long mentorship program designed for postdoctoral fellows. In this practicum, postdocs will observe mentors in their teaching, teach guest lectures and receive feedback on their teaching, discuss teaching approaches with their mentors, and engage in group discussions of teaching with peers in the practicum. When applying for the practicum, postdocs also have the opportunity to identify specific areas of teaching development where they would like additional instruction (on topics like lesson planning, teaching portfolios, equity, diversity, & inclusion, and teaching-as-research); practicum instructors will plan sessions around the most demanded topics.

This semester-long practicum has 5 online sessions from January 12-April 20.

This event is hosted by the Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning (CIRTL) and is designed for graduate students and faculty mentors. Register for this course by logging in with your CIRTL account. If you do not have a CIRTL account, you can create one with your UF credentials.
