Explore Pathways to Teaching Excellence

The Graduate Center for Professional Development offers two routes to train current and future educators to be evidence-based practitioners, in addition to on-going, cross-campus collaboration through training workshops. 

• Learn more about CIRTL@Bing, a nationally-recognized future-faculty training program that leads to formal endorsements and supports preparation for the academic job market.
• Explore on-campus teaching training, from TA basics through course design. This asynchronous opportunity walks you through what you need from Syllabus Day through submitting grades for a course you designed.

Mentoring Excellence

Mentorship is a crucial part of the experience in higher learning and advanced postdoctoral training. The Graduate School is committed to supporting faculty in building their skills in mentorship, through evidence-based practices and thorough support. Faculty can engage through two routes:

1. Be trained by CIMER in facilitating Entering Mentoring and bring this learning back to the 91ÉçÇø campus by training a cohort of colleagues.
   
   
2. Participate in an on-campus training series based on CIMER’s Entering Mentoring Curriculum.
