Applications now open for the Groundwork Program for graduate students

Applications are now open for the January 2020 cohort of the Groundwork Program! The Groundwork Program is a 2 ½ day, face-to-face program designed to help graduate students at Texas Tech University learn more about effective teaching in the college classroom, and will include workshops, discussions, and micro-teaching activities. Participants in Groundwork will be exposed to fundamentals of college teaching such as syllabus and learning outcome creation, classroom management, active learning, and other strategies for engaging students in a hands-on and highly active environment that offers opportunities for individualized attention and feedback.

This Groundwork Program iteration is scheduled to take place January 8th – 10th at the Teaching, Learning, and Professional Development Center, and is open to all Texas Tech Master’s students, Doctoral students, and Post-Docs who submit an application and are accepted for participation. A teaching appointment is NOT required, and current and former TEACH Program Fellows and past Groundwork participants are ineligible. Space is limited to 40 participants.

Applications to participate in Groundwork are due by 11:59 pm on Tuesday, December 3rd. The application is very simple and can be completed online. You can find a link to the application on the Groundwork Program website here: http://www.depts.ttu.edu/tlpdc/Graduate-Students/Programs/groundwork.php .

You can find more information about the application process and testimonials about the Groundwork Program on the website listed above. If you have any specific questions, you may contact Dr. Allison Boye (allison.p.boye@ttu.edu ).

The Groundwork Program is co-sponsored by the Teaching, Learning, and Professional Development Center and the TTU Graduate School.
