Options for Graduate Students and Post-Docs Interested in Teaching |
|
- Consult with CIDR about your teaching, or to help you put your other informal teaching experience into your teaching portfolio (for example, leading research groups, mentoring new students, presenting at seminars or conferences). To set up an appointment, contact info@cidr.washington.edu
- Participate in UW's Annual Fall TA Conference:
- Attend conference sessions on teaching
- Apply to become a session facilitator
- Volunteer to give guest presentations in your advisor's or colleagues' classes. Get feedback from your advisor (if he or she observes), ask a CIDR consultant to observe and give feedback, or use a Minute-Paper at the end of class to get quick written feedback from students.
- Ask for feedback on the presentation quality and clarity of your research talks or seminar presentations (that is, rather than only discussing the quality of the research itself).
- Participate in Outreach opportunities in your college or department such as the Engineering Open House (many departments have something similar), or invitations to present at local schools or community centers.
- Volunteer to be part of CIDR's (still-forming) "Leading TAs" steering group. Contact Jennie Dorman at CIDR if you are interested.
- Become a Tutor: Your department may have its own study or writing center, and campus-wide tutoring centers include CLUE, the Office of Minority Affairs Instructional Center, and Women in Science and Engineering.
- Take a Graduate School Course:
- Let your interest in teaching be known in your department, or in related departments in which you would be interested in teaching.
- Apply for a Huckabay Teaching Fellowship.
- Teach at another local college or university. Many UW graduate students have found opportunities for single-quarter, part-time teaching appointments.
