About
The Life & Physical Sciences Divisions are exploring ways in which to enhance the training of Teaching Assistants (TAs). The goal of the Educational Development Conference — a train-the-trainer workshop — is to help TAs integrate student-centered and inclusive pedagogy into their courses. Aligned with this initiative is interest in engaging with the CIRTL network, which is a NSF-funded online learning community that promotes the professional development of graduate students and post-docs by using graduate education as a lever to develop future faculty committed to implementing effective and inclusive teaching practices.
