The Biology Graduate Student Association (BSGA) and the Mechanical Engineering Graduate students Association (MEGA) will be co-hosting a series of events for graduate students interested in improving their teaching skills or preparing for a teaching position in academia. These lunchtime seminars and workshops are being held each Wednesday over the next three weeks (April 25, May 2, May 9).
Students will be able to earn a certificate in University Teaching from the Office of Graduate Studies by attending 2 of the 3 sessions and completing the Office of Graduate Studies’ Teaching Portfolio course.
Food will be provided. Please RSVP HERE if you plan to attend
Hello,
What is the Office of Graduate Studies` Teaching Portfolio Course? Where can I find more information about it?
Thank you.

The Teaching Portfolio workshop is for those who are interested in pursuing
a path in academia. Drs. Lim and Pramod will discuss the things that need to
be included in the teaching portfolio for faculty members that wish to be
tenure-track.

The Teaching Assistant Certificate (TAC) is a joint effort of the Office of
Graduate Studies and the student’s academic department. To earn a
certificate, the teaching assistant must do the following:
• Find a faculty member as a teaching mentor
• Work closely under that person’s guidance (as an associate)
including shadowing the professor and sharing their mentor’s experiences as
they run their courses
• Have their teaching observed and formally critiqued by the teaching
mentor
• Participate in departmental or university teaching workshops
• Develop a teaching portfolio
• Request a comprehensive teaching assessment by faculty mentor
Contact tkk22@drexel.edu for more information
Will there be additional times/seminars in the future? Currently only one of the seminars are available and 2 to 3 are needed in order to fulfill the requirements
