Workshops on Teaching

The GSI Teaching & Resource Center Workshops on Teaching is a professional development series for GSIs. These workshops cover a wide variety of topics related to university teaching and the GSI experience. The purpose of the series is to offer GSIs, and other graduate students interested in teaching, opportunities for hands-on learning and practical discussion about pedagogy.

Spring 2013 Schedule
