 My primary goal this year was to design a syllabus for a department pedagogy colloquium and have it approved to run in the 2024/2025 academic year. This has been a process of corresponding with faculty about what kind of a teaching colloquium would be feasible in our program. Because of other commitments for third-year Celtic PhD students, the course will be for G2s. Because they will not be teaching when they are taking the course, I want it to be a place where they can practice skills and create materials they can use in their teaching in their G3 year and beyond. I am happy to report the course was approved, and I will be teaching it next year.

 The three documents on display here represent a sample of draft teaching workshops I created over the past academic year. These will help ensure graduate students in our department (Celtic Languages and Literatures) are prepared to confront the particular challenges provided by our array of classes, which feature languages (Welsh, Irish, Breton, Scottish Gaelic) and literary conventions most undergraduates have a passing knowledge of, at best. The department does not yet have an official teaching colloquium; we hope revised versions of these workshops will appear in one by 2025.

 I created a repository for Language teaching resources for my department. Because TFs have to teach languages of which they are not native speakers, and minority languages which have little visibility online, this repository provides resources to helpTFs focus on pedagogy rather than having to dedicate all their time to creating materials. This repository is also meant to be updated as new materials are created, and can serve as a foundational platform for the creation of a future Celtic Teaching Colloquium.
