CTL LIFT – Preparing for Your First Class

Presented by: Stacey Cofield, PhD

Description: Are you teaching for the first time here at UAB? Are you looking for faculty or teaching positions when you graduate? Have you been a TA or taught before and want to improve your classroom skills? This workshop is designed to equip graduate students with the essential skills and confidence needed to successfully navigate their first teaching experience. Whether you're leading a traditional class, a discussion section, teaching online, or facilitating a lab, this class will provide practical strategies and tools to help you create a positive and effective learning environment.

Please note: These workshops are designed exclusively for graduate teaching assistants, or graduate students and postdocs who anticipate a career in positions with teaching responsibilities.

Participants who complete eight workshops in the program will receive a LIFT certificate from the Center for Teaching and Learning to demonstrate their engagement with learning about good teaching practice.
