How do you leverage your teaching experience in your job search? As a teacher you learn so much, including how to communicate complex topics, organize material, facilitate a group, manage time, set goals, support students, and give feedback. How can you articulate these skills? How might these skills be valued by employers? In this interactive workshop hosted by the Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning and the Mignone Center for Career Success, you’ll explore what you’ve learned from your teaching experiences, reflect on which elements of teaching you’ve found most rewarding, and consider how the strengths and interests you’ve developed as a teacher may be valuable to a variety of career paths. This session is designed for graduate students at any stage interested in exploring their teaching strengths and how they relate to their future career, whether in or outside of academia.
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.
