Starting an academic job: teaching in your first year as a professor
Facilitator: Drs. Jackie Boyden and Kate Creasy Townsend, Nursing
Convener: Stacey Bevan, CTL Graduate Fellow, Nursing
Whether designing a syllabus or adapting an established course, preparing to teach is a significant part of transitioning into the role of a professor. Hear valuable insights from Drs. Jackie Boyden and Kate Townsend on their first year as Penn faculty. We will cover topics such as discussing teaching with department leadership, balancing time as a new professor and drafting course materials. This is the second of a series on teaching and the academic job market. Lunch will be provided!
Objectives:
- Consider teaching in the context of job acceptance and negotiation
- Discuss strategies to balance teaching preparation with other responsibilities (grant writing, research, service, general adjustments) as an incoming professor
- Practice adapting a syllabus from an existing class or for a new course design using university resources, such as mentorship
All graduate students are welcome. This event grows out of concerns in the School of Nursing and so may be most useful to students in related fields.
Counts toward the CTL Teaching Certificate.
