Teaching
Resources
Our mission at the Graduate Teaching Center is to promote excellent teaching at Yale University. We encourage Faculty and TAs to reflect on their goals as pedagogues, and we offer programs and resources to help turn these ideas and aims into practical applications for the classroom. In addition to our handbook Becoming Teachers, we've developed a collection of resources covering many topics of interest to new and advanced teachers. You will find many practical tips for improving your teaching, and activities and handouts you can use with your students. If you work with a group of teachers, you may also find our topical workshop outlines useful.
Teaching students to write good papers
Advanced discussion leading
Teaching students with different learning styles and levels of preparation
Finding advanced teaching opportunities
Teaching Journal Articles

In
addition to these handouts, we encourage you familiarize yourself
with Becoming
Teachers.
For more discussion of these and other topics
as well as for a chance to share your ideas with your peers, we
invite you to attend any of the teaching
workshops we offer throughout the year.
