Spring 2025 CPAD Graduate Teaching Practicum
Fridays at 10am-12pm ET
January 24 – March 7, 2025
First meeting: Friday, January 24th, 10am ET
Via Zoom. The link will be provided after the sign-up.
The Graduate Teaching Practicum is offered to graduate students from the College of Arts and Architecture. This non-credit practicum will include five synchronous meetings on Zoom, three surveys, three required activities, and weekly Canvas discussions. After successful completion, students will be awarded the C-PAD Graduate Certificate in Teaching.
The practicum will provide graduate students with multiple-mode teaching resources and strategies, which they can implement directly into their communication with students and evaluation of assignments, demonstrating their personal approaches to student engagement and assessment. The practicum will also offer professional development content to help graduate students evolve in their teaching. (If you are not teaching, you are still welcome to participate since the practicum can provide a good foundation for preparing you to teach/assist). The workload is light and meant to support graduate students rather than overwhelm them.
Graduate Practicum Learning Objectives:
- Review teaching with technology resources: Canvas, Starfish, LionPath, Kaltura, and more.
- Examine available resources from DEIB, TLT, The Schreyer Institute, C-PAD Shares, Red Folder, and those from other Institutions.
- Introduce students to the best approaches to providing personalized, inclusive, encouraging, and constructive feedback.
- Provide the best strategies for effective communication and student engagement.
- Engage in group presentations and discussions.
- Welcome visiting speakers with diverse voices, experiences, and perspectives.
-
Create a college-wide graduate student community through collaborations and presentations virtually and at the C-PAD Lab.
