Fall Teaching Conference Workshop - Teaching as an International Scholar

Sarah Emory, Assistant Director, International Teachers and Scholars, Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning

Are you a TF who got your undergraduate degree at an institution outside the U.S.? If so, you may have questions about teaching undergraduates at Harvard. How might the undergraduate experience here differ from your own experience? As an International TF, what do you need to know to navigate teaching in Harvard classrooms successfully? In this interactive discussion, you will have the opportunity to explore issues related to teaching across borders and boundaries and hear from Harvard undergraduate students and experienced international TFs who will share their perspectives on what strategies effective TFs use. You will learn and practice useful strategies for building connections with undergraduates. Please note that the Teaching as an International Scholar module on the Hit the Ground Running Canvas site is a useful resource for international TFs interested in this session.

This session is part of the Fall Teaching Conference, which is designed to prepare new and experienced graduate student teachers for their roles as Teaching Fellows in the FAS. Pre-registration is required. Learn more here.
