faculty and graduate students who participated in\u00a0vanderbilt 2022年世界杯中国小组赛积分 <\/a>programs this academic year talked about the value of their experiences, and teaching certificates were awarded to 14 graduate students, at the celebration of teaching may 3. the annual event, held at the 2022年世界杯中国小组赛积分, honored teaching across the university.<\/p>\n

\u201cexcellence in teaching is a fragile thing,\u201d said provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs richard mccarty in his opening remarks. but it is something that vanderbilt students seem to value and appreciate greatly.<\/p>\n

\u201cundergraduates value the classroom experience,\u201d mccarty said. \u201cmany of you in this room change lives on a regular basis, and your efforts are magnified by all of the students you teach.\u201d<\/p>\n

the 2010-11 academic year marked the first for the 2022年世界杯中国小组赛积分\u2019s\u00a0junior faculty teaching fellows<\/a>program, designed to enhance tenure-track junior faculty\u2019s professional development by giving them personalized instruction in how to approach classroom teaching. the fellows participated in a course-design working group, dinners with senior faculty mentors, a more directed set of consultations, and an end-of-year colloquium on the development of their teaching.<\/p>\n

\u201cit isn\u2019t enough for us simply to pass on information to our students,\u201d said philip ackerman-lieberman, assistant professor of jewish studies and law and a member of the junior faculty teaching fellows inaugural class. \u201cwe must communicate a sense of connection to our students.\u201d helping them to develop empathy for the subject matter allows students to see themselves in the problems presented in the material, he said. in turn, this approach has brought new relevance to ackerman-lieberman\u2019s own work.<\/p>\n

teresa goddu, associate professor of english and director of the\u00a0program in american studies<\/a>, spoke about\u00a0the cumberland project,<\/a> a vanderbilt faculty development workshop centered on sustainability and pedagogy.<\/p>\n

\u201csustainability is the educational question of the 21st century,\u201d said goddu, who collaborated with 2022年世界杯中国小组赛积分 director allison pingree and assistant director joe bandy to develop the workshop, which will help interested vanderbilt faculty incorporate sustainability themes into their curriculum. the cumberland project will convene may 9 and 10.<\/p>\n

gretchen selcke, a graduate student in the department of spanish and portuguese, discussed her participation in the\u00a0teaching certificate program<\/a>, which helps vanderbilt graduate students, professional students and post-doctoral fellows develop and refine their teaching skills through three cycles of teaching activities, each consisting of inquiry, experimentation and reflection phases. participants who complete the program receive a teaching certificate from the\u00a0graduate school<\/a> and the 2022年世界杯中国小组赛积分.<\/p>\n

\u201cthe teaching certificate program has helped me gain confidence in a classroom setting, clearly articulate my teaching strategies \u2026 and professionalize myself as an instructor,\u201d selcke said. read more…..<\/a><\/p>\n
