During the busy semester, it can be difficult to find the energy to stay motivated and to keep your students engaged too! Connecting with your peers and seeking out teaching mentors can be important both for your own development as a teacher and for keeping yourself and your students engaged throughout the term. In this interactive panel discussion, we will explore our approaches to 1) defining teaching goals and priorities, 2) aligning teacher and student expectations, 3) building supportive and motivated classrooms, and 4) leveraging your identity as a teacher-scholar to energize your teaching and your students’ connection to the material.

This workshop is being offered as part of Winter Teaching Week and is designed for GSAS PhD students and others at similar career stages engaged in the teaching of Harvard College undergraduates. Pre-registration is required.
