Teaching Workshops for Graduate Students
Fall 2008
The Center for Teaching and Learning offers workshops for graduate students seeking to develop their teaching, both to help them improve as teaching assistants and for their professional development as future faculty. For more information, click on the title of the workshop.
To register, email ctl-help@sas.upenn.edu.
Note that sessions with a designated "convener" are departmentally centered workshops. These discussions grow out of teaching issues common to a particular department or group of departments, but all graduate students are welcome to attend.
