Higher Education Teaching Certification ProgramStarting a Path to a Faculty Career HETC Fellows' ePortfolio (video) |
 |
|---|
The Higher Education Teaching Certification program approaches teaching as scholarly work and it intends to supplement, advance, and extend existing university-wide and departmental graduate teaching assistant (TA) training efforts. It is designed primarily to enhance the teaching effectiveness of TAs while at the University of Delaware and to provide a systematic preparation for all aspects of academic careers. The non-credit, optional program is open to all graduate students (both at the Masters and Doctoral levels) who intend to become future faculty. There is no tuition charge for the program. The program is offered in an online environment (Sakai), supplemented with on-campus seminars. Content areas are offered in five-or ten-week segments.
Interested graduate students apply for admission directly to the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL).
