I teach regularly within the Certificate in College Teaching, working with doctoral students and postdoctoral scholars as they develop their approach to university teaching. These graduate-level courses address course design, classroom practice, digital pedagogy, and reflective assessment. Together they provide structured opportunities for participants to experiment with teaching methods, receive feedback, and document their development as instructors.
GS750: Fundamentals of College Teaching
GS750 introduces doctoral students to pedagogy, course design, and classroom practice. The course emphasizes active learning, inclusive teaching, and alignment between learning outcomes, assessment, and instructional strategy. In recent years, I collaborated on the design of an online version to expand access for students with fieldwork, caregiving responsibilities, or international time zones. Across formats, the course centers reflective practice and structured feedback as foundations of effective teaching.
GS760: The College Teaching Portfolio
In GS760, students develop teaching statements, academic CVs, and online teaching portfolios that integrate evidence of training and practice. The course emphasizes peer critique, design principles, and reflective writing, helping participants articulate teaching as scholarly work rather than personal style. Portfolio assessment is structured around shared criteria, and the course introduces international frameworks such as the UK Professional Standards Framework to situate teaching recognition within broader contexts.
GS762: Digital Pedagogy
GS762 explores the pedagogical, ethical, and practical dimensions of digital teaching. Students design learning activities, assess accessibility, and evaluate digital tools within the context of inclusive and evidence-informed practice. Delivered in hybrid formats, the course emphasizes critical engagement with technology rather than tool adoption alone, encouraging participants to consider how digital environments shape learning and assessment.
GS780S: Graduate Instructor of Record Seminar
GS780S supports doctoral students who are teaching full courses as instructors of record. Structured as an interdisciplinary learning community, it emphasizes reflective discussion, peer observation, and shared problem-solving. Participants examine real-time classroom challenges and refine their practice through dialogue and structured feedback.
GS798: College Teaching Practicum and Observation
GS798 centers on peer observation and reflective practice through the Teaching Triangles model. Students observe across disciplines, exchange structured feedback, and integrate those insights into their professional teaching portfolios. The practicum reinforces teaching as collaborative, evidence-informed work rather than isolated performance.
