Graduate training in teaching
As scientists in academia a large portion of our job description frequently includes the responsibility of teaching both undergraduate and graduate level students. Despite this eventual expectation, few graduate programs adequately prepare graduate students for leading full courses and designing course content, nor do they provide training in teaching methods supported by research. My colleagues and I proposed a method of addressing this shortcoming, and some of the key solutions that provide the greatest gain without taking up too much time on behalf of both students and mentors (linked below).
