The goals of this seminar center on the preparedness for graduate students in mathematics to engage in classroom instructions for undergraduates at Johns Hopkins University. This seminar augments the teaching orientation provided to graduate students by the CER and Mathematics Department by addressing (1) teaching-techniques: student-centered inclusive teaching strategies, facilitating small group work, incorporating student ideas and student thinking into active hole class discussions, and choosing appropriate mathematical tasks, (2) opportunities for practice teaching in classrooms before their first assignment to TA for a course in scaffolded micro-teaching experiences and (3) preparing for the practice of and documentation of a reflective teaching practice necessary for success in their careers as mathematicians and educators.
