As a graduate student or postdoc, you will continue to advance in your teaching practice, particularly if you intend to pursue a career in academia. Your role as an educator can seem to take quantum leaps, from grading problem sets and papers to running recitations, taking responsibility for an entire class or section, and eventually advancing to instructor of record as you begin to teach classes of your own design. This compound workshop and panel event will help you to place these transitions within a developmental perspective that focuses on your own learning as an emerging educator.Registration is required for this event.
