Teaching & Learning
Hands on Experience
The hands-on experience category
allows participants to reflect thoughtfully on their own
teaching practices and to share teaching and learning
concerns and ideas with colleagues. Participants
will:
1. Complete 5 hours of teaching
interaction with students. A participant’s TA duties
may provide sufficient interaction; otherwise additional
arrangements must be made. Possible alternatives include
teaching a small portion of a course on an adjunct basis
(at Vanderbilt or another institution), individual
tutoring, facilitating review or help sessions, or other
arrangements where the participant is actively engaged in a
teaching-learning relationship with students. The five
hours of teaching must be documented with a teaching/lesson
plan (for each session taught), some form of classroom or
student assessment, and self-evaluation or reflection. For
more information on assessment and reflection, refer to the
Teaching as Inquiry, Experimentation, and Reflection
document.
2. Facilitate a teaching and
learning-based session (e.g., brownbag lunch) for our
department, the Center for Teaching (such as a F2P2 workshop), or another
institution. After teaching the session, include the following in your F2P2 notebook, include:
- a flyer announcing the event,
- lesson plan and copy of handouts,
- list of attendees, and
- summary of assessment of the event.
Refer to the Workshop Planning Document for
guidelines on organizing an event. If you would like to propose a workshop for inclusion in F2P2 (including GradSTEP), please see our F2P2 Workshop Development Process.
