questions<\/h4>\n<p><strong>can i complete the seminar and practicum in any order?<\/strong><br \/>\nwe ask that you complete the seminar first and the practicum second. it&#8217;s our intention that participants will build on knowledge and experiences from the seminar (which will address many &#8216;basics&#8217; and common concerns among tas and future faculty) in the practicum (which will allow one to receive feedback on their teaching skills and make refinements). if completed out of order, participants will miss out on that opportunity for growth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>do i have to complete the seminar and the practicum in back-to-back semesters? or can i take a break in between?<\/strong><br \/>\nyou do not have to complete the seminar and the practicum in consecutive semesters. you can complete the seminar and then take all the time you&#8217;d like to before signing up for the practicum.<\/p>\n<p><strong>how do i apply?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>see the information regarding wait list application at the top of the page<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>when is the &#8216;best time&#8217; to complete the certificate?<\/strong><br \/>\nthe &#8216;best time&#8217; to complete the certificate is up to you! here are some common factors, though, that do help graduate students make up their mind about when to start:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>the time commitment. <\/strong><\/em>both pieces of the certificate require you to attend regularly scheduled 75 minutes sessions (held at the cft) and consultations . taking an evaluative look at your schedule and determining if you have that time available is important.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>available teaching opportunities.<\/strong><\/em> the practicum does require participants to undergo one teaching observation. while we try to be flexible about what is &#8216;teaching&#8217;, typically participants are observed giving a lecture\/presentation or leading a discussion\/review group. for most, completing the practicum during a semester that one is teaching or ta&#8217;ing (and thus has some access to classroom teaching) is ideal. for those whose ta duties don&#8217;t include teaching (or those who are not ta&#8217;ing at all), we suggest that you speak with others in your department and work out and arrangement to guest lecture <em>before <\/em>starting the practicum.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>i&#8217;m no longer a student at vanderbilt. can i still participate in either the seminar or practicum?<\/strong><br \/>\nsorry, this program is intended for those who are still a part of the teaching community at vanderbilt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>i&#8217;m not a graduate student or a post-doc (instead a staff person, etc). can i\u00a0still participate in

is when a graduate teaching fellow (gtf) observes you in a teaching opportunity and provides feedback on your teaching. the classroom observation is also part of a larger sequence, which includes a pre-observation consultation, the observation itself, and the post-observation consultation.<\/p>\n<p><em>what if i can\u2019t identify a teaching opportunity?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>one of the most important considerations when making the decision about when to begin the practicum is determining when you&#8217;ll have teaching opportunities available to you. we suggest that you time your participation to coincide with a semester in which you&#8217;ll be ta&#8217;ing, teaching your own course, or will be working with another person in your department who is amiable to allowing you to guest lecture in their course. if you&#8217;re still unable to identify a teaching opportunity, then we ask that you complete only the seminar portion of the certificate, which does not require any in-class observations. please note that the cft is unable to identify teaching opportunities for you. that responsibility lies with the participant.<\/p>\n<p><em>how do i set up my classroom observation?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>to schedule your classroom observation contact juliet traub. her email is <a href=\"mailto:juliet.g.traub@vanderbilt.edu\">juliet.g.traub@vanderbilt.edu<\/a> or you can

observation?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>please schedule a classroom observation as soon as you have confirmed your teaching opportunity. this will best ensure the availability of a graduate teaching fellow at your requested observation time.<\/p>\n<p><em>who will conduct my classroom observation?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>one of the graduate teaching fellows will conduct your classroom observation.<\/p>\n<p><em>what should i bring to my pre-observation consultation?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>you should bring any slides, handouts, lecture notes or lesson plans that you have prepared. if you have not prepared these materials, that is perfectly fine. in this case, you should come prepared with questions that will help the graduate teaching fellow advise you on how to prepare.<\/p>\n<p><em>what should i expect during my pre-observation consultation?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>you will meet for thirty minutes with the graduate teaching fellow who will observe your teaching. during this meeting, you will talk about your plans and different pedagogical choices you might make during the session. you will also discuss what aspects of your teaching that you would like the graduate teaching fellow to make note of during the observation. finally, you will share the final details regarding the class location, time, etc.<\/p>\n<p><em>what should i expect during my classroom observation?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>graduate teaching fellows typically sit in the back of the room in a non-assuming role. it is entirely up to you if you want to announce the graduate teaching fellow\u2019s purpose in being in the room.<\/p>\n<p><em>what should i expect during my post-observation meeting?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>in the post-observation meeting, you and the graduate teaching fellow will talk about how you felt things went, what worked, what didn\u2019t and brainstorm different choices that you might make going forward.<\/p>\n<p><em>what should i do if i am not taing a class during the semester that i attend the cict practicum? <\/em><\/p>\n<p>consider asking your advisor if it would be possible to lead a session in their class. if that is not possible, consider reaching out to faculty in your department who may be traveling during the semester and ask if they would be willing to allow you in their classroom. you might also ask your advisor to reach out to a faculty member on your behalf. it is also possible to complete this requirement the following semester if it is impossible to find a teaching opportunity.<\/p>\n<p><em>what if i teach off campus or outside of business hours?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>if you can\u2019t find a teaching opportunity on campus or during business hours, then you will need to make a recording of your teaching opportunity and you and the gtf will talk about it together in a consultation meeting. you can check out the cft\u2019s camera by contacting juliet traub by email (<a href=\"mailto:juliet.g.traub@vanderbilt.edu\">juliet.g.traub@vanderbilt.edu<\/a>) or phone

optional.<\/p>\n<p><em>what the difference between a teaching visit and classroom observation? <\/em><\/p>\n<p>during a teaching visit, you observe a host instructor teach their class. during a

program is open to graduate students and postdocs for all disciplines on campus, the mellon certificate is geared towards those specifically in humanities disciplines. for humanities students who are trying to decide between the two: the cict program offers valuable insights into general evidenced-based pedagogy that can be applied with a disciplinary lens, which also allowing interdisciplinary interactions with peers across campus. the mellon certificate focuses the lens from the beginning on the humanities, what it means to be a part of and teaching in the humanities, and explores signature pedagogies with peers from similar disciplines.<\/p>\n<p><em>when\/how will i receive my certificate after completing practicum? <\/em><\/p>\n<p>you will receive your certificate at the end of the semester in which you complete the practicum, which can be picked up at the cft. you will also be invited to attend the cft\u2019s program graduation event, during which you will also have an
