for Effective Teaching
The Greenberg Seminars for Effective Teaching is a two-year series of specialized workshops for PhD and MFA students that will help develop professional skills for future faculty and alt-act careers. We will hold one day-long workshop per semester on a weekend, covering topics such as contemporary issues in higher education, course design across the curriculum, lecture and discussion techniques, teaching diverse populations, career management and advancement, and how universities work.
We will provide hands-on guidance on preparing quality application materials for the academic job market and mentoring opportunities including shadowing faculty at area colleges. Students must commit to attending one day-long workshop on a weekend each semester for two years. Greenberg students are eligible for designated funds toward membership in professional organizations and conference participation.
Students who complete the program will receive certificates of participation.
