Please join The Graduate School for a half-day of interactive training designed to empower you as you begin the important work of teaching undergraduate students at Carolina. You'll learn valuable skills: from effective teaching strategies to supporting student success and evaluating student performance—that will increase your competence as an instructor in the classroom. You'll gain the confidence that comes from knowing when and how to connect with campus resources. Most importantly, you'll connect with a community of peers and mentors who are ready to support your development as an instructor now and into the future.
