The focus of this group is to share the rewards and challenges of college teaching, while digging a bit deeper into best practices and techniques for teaching. In January’s LCFF, we will start with an overview of different means of inquiry-driven learning and how much of a hurdle each one is to begin to work with, then work on making a basic lab or assignments participants bring more inquiry based.

The Graduate Ethics Program has three components: an opening session during orientation, four small group discussions on focal topics to be taken fall term of the first year of graduate school, and an online ethics survey. For the second phase of the Ethics program, Aine Donovan, Executive Director of the Ethics Institute at Dartmouth College offers a four-part ethics training session focusing on key ethical issues to train future Ethics Facilitators. Graduate students, postdocs, administrators, and faculty who attend the sessions will gain skills in case style teaching methods and develop a framework for thinking about ethical issues that occur in research. Those who attend the training sessions will then facilitate four ethics workshops for a small group of first year students in the fall of 2017. Trainers will receive $50 per facilitated session. If you are interested in the Training for Trainers please email Kerry Landers a brief statement of interest in teaching ethics and a copy of your cv/resume by Jan 16.
