When students feel they are our partners in improving teaching, they may feel more motivated to provide the type of feedback that is crucial to our development as instructors.

The six characteristics of a quality peer review process can be remembered with a mnemonic device: We want to help our students go FFAARR (pronounced far) in life.
This combination of workshops and webinars for a graduate student audience is designed to address core competencies for graduate student teachers. Further, this series includes a webinar on well-being and two workshops to prepare for a job search: Preparing a Teaching Statement and a Teaching Demo. See the descriptions of each workshop below:

Discomfort is not experienced equally by all students--at the same levels. We must be highly aware of the power of discomfort and the emotions it can evoke in our students.
The Director of CETL, Dr. Michele DiPietro, and the Graduate College Dean, Dr. Mike Dishman, will welcome graduate students to CETL’s 2018 Fall Graduate Teaching Orientation. This annual, full-day orientation introduces graduate students to fundamental principles of teaching and learning. This event is also an opportunity for graduate students to meet one another and to realize the many ways KSU supports them as teachers.

Several studies point out that graduate student teaching assistants have a significant impact on undergraduate learning and student retention ((Bettinger, Long, & Taylor, 2016, Myers, et al. 2012; El-Ghoroury, 2012). Graduate students’ enthusiasm for their discipline affects student learning. One study suggests that Undergraduates who take an introductory course taught by a graduate student are much more likely to major in that subject than those who took the same course from a full-time faculty member (Bettinger, Long, & Taylor).

For many graduate students, assessing student learning is an isolating and anxiety-producing event, followed by varied reactions from undergraduates who often seem nonplussed by their grades.
