Contemplative Teaching & Learning


Mindfulness practices benefit cognition, emotion, and creativity. After reviewing the contemplative pedagogy movement in higher education, participants will experience two short classroom mindfulness practices designed to cultivate attention, and creativity, and deep
engagement; consider the research supporting them; and discuss how implementing them might look in various classrooms. This session is part of GRAD Mental Health Awareness Week!

Barbara and the NPHW Planning Committee

In this month's LCFF, join us to share your past teaching experiences, whether good or bad. We hope to learn from each other as to what works and what didn't during our early teaching careers. Come with a story or a listening ear, while we reflect upon our skills as an instructor--whether in the classroom or in the teaching lab.

In order to cultivate a community focused on teaching and learning amongst graduate students and postdocs, DCAL has established a Learning Community for Future Faculty (LCFF). 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. The LCFF meets monthly on the 2nd Monday of the month.

2 Opportunities to Present Your Research

Get Ready to Sign-up to Present a Poster at the Dartmouth Graduate Student Poster Session
Get Ready to Sign-up to Present a Poster at the Dartmouth Graduate Student Poster Session

The poster session is scheduled for Tuesday, April 11, 5-7:30 pm in Alumni Hall. Presenters must be able to attend the full session.

The link to sign-up will be sent out on Monday, March 20 @ 9 am on the Graduate Studies Listserv.

(Since there are limited spaces, now is the time to check with your advisor to see if s/he would like you to present. FYI… in the past, advisors have asked me why their students are not presenting.)

The poster session, scheduled for the Tuesday, April 11, 5-7:30 pm in Alumni Hall is being organized as part of Graduate Student Appreciation Week and will display posters by Dartmouth graduate students. The poster session is to display to other graduate students/postdocs, undergraduate students, faculty, and administrators the research and scholarly activity currently underway at Dartmouth.

Prizes of $200 will be awarded for the top three posters.

Posters will be judged on clarity of visual presentation, as well as on how well the poster presenter can talk (briefly, 3 minutes!) about his/her work in terms understandable by a non-specialist (though the poster itself may be highly technical). In addition, only one presenter per poster.

**** Poster Size****
We encourage you to use the Graduate Studies Logo on your posters.
FYI...
Your poster should be no larger than 3 feet wide by 4 feet long. If for some reason your poster is larger, then you will be responsible for making sure it hangs on the allotted space.

Please note:
Only posters will be allowed for the presentation of your work i.e. that means no use of computers or other technical equipment. Additionally, only one person can present each poster.


Dartmouth Graduate Student Council Hosts Inaugural Three Minute Thesis Competition
Dartmouth Graduate Student Council Hosts Inaugural Three Minute Thesis Competition:

Graduate students are becoming more aware of the importance of effectively explaining the impact of their work to a general audience. Whether it is in an "elevator pitch" situation or a short answer to "tell me about you research" during a job interview, describing one's research swiftly but clearly is key for a successful career. In an effort to practice explaining research swiftly, the GSC will be organizing a three minute thesis competition event on Thursday May 18 2017, from 5pm-7pm. Graduate students that want to compete need to fill out an application, found on the link below. Furthermore, to be eligible to apply you need to be able to present your thesis research using lay language in three minutes and you must be graduating in June.
