About
Many graduate students enter into PhD programs with the goal of obtaining faculty positions in higher education after graduation. The Division of Teaching Excellence and Innovation (DTEI) and the Humanities Center offer a pedagogical humanities certificate series every fall. The PHC is a teacher-training initiative designed to give graduate students in the School of Humanities the opportunity to join an interdisciplinary community dedicated to reviewing evidenced-based pedagogical research and discussing how to implement these strategies into daily teaching practices. The workshop series is led by a DTEI Pedagogical Fellow and focuses on a diverse range of topics including inclusive teaching practices, mentorship, assessment approaches, educational technology, and more. Participants will also have the opportunity to give and receive peer feedback on their teaching. Registration for the series opens at the beginning of fall quarter.
For questions, please contact SueJeanne Koh, Assistant Director of Graduate Futures and Research Engagement, at sj.koh@uci.edu.
The Fall 2024 series is being led by Carina Saiidi Padilla (PhD student; Spanish and Portuguese) and meets on Thursdays, 3-4:30 PM on Zoom (Oct. 10-Nov. 14). Please email Carina at msaiidip@uci.edu for the Zoom link.
