Teaching can be one of the most satisfying activities to partake in for a college or university educator. It can also be challenging as not all disciplines have full programs to consistently prepare graduate students for their roles as TAs or instructors. Here at OSU's Center for Teaching and Learning, we want to make sure you have all you need to do a great job as a graduate student teacher whether you are doing it for the first time, or whether you are a seasoned instructor.

The information in the modules covers all the key areas of a graduate teaching. If you are first time teacher start at Teaching Pragmatics. If you are preparing to be an Instructor of Record, you should also look at the material here: Instructor of Record - Fundamentals and here: Instructors of Record - Special Topics .

Many Units/Departments/Colleges at OSU will also have discipline specific training materials. If you want a guided course on teaching consider the GCUT program or enroll in GRAD 516 (Teaching Seminar).

If there is anything you would like help on not covered in these pages, I invite you to get in touch with me personally.

Cheers
