The Bok Center's required Foundations in Teaching training introduces undergraduates teaching in the FAS to the key role that they will play as part of a teaching team. We will cover key professional skills for the role (i.e. communicating with the teaching team; shaping the learning culture of the course; upholding FAS policies; and balancing the dual role of peer and course staff member). And we will equip participants with core teaching skills (i.e. how to turn good content knowledge into good teaching; how to help students feel included and able to speak up; how to grade and give feedback; how to deal with conflicts of interest and peer pressure). The training also offers methods for encouraging and managing open dialogue and respectful disagreement among students.

**In Fall 2026, Foundations in Teaching training sessions will be held three times daily from Tuesday, September 8 through Monday, September 14.**
