Teaching Strategies (PDEV 79401)

This course provides Graduate Center students from all disciplines with community and structure to help them prepare for and reflect upon their development as teachers. We will examine the the social contexts of teaching and consider the positionalities of graduate student instructors and adjuncts. Short theoretical readings will guide participants’ exploration and development of their teaching philosophies and materials.  The course curriculum and structure will be responsive to the group’s needs.

Foundational topics explored in the course will include classroom community, student-centered and active learning approaches, accessibility, course design and policies, lesson planning, assignment design, assessment, educational technologies and online learning, cultivating student writing, affective responses in classroom settings, and culturally responsive pedagogy.

The course will be offered Spring 2025 on Fridays, 9:30-11:30am.
