Pedagogy - How do we Teach it?  Designing a Communication Pedagogy Practicum for Graduate Teaching Assistants

Presenter:         Rachel L. DiCioccio, The University of Rhode Island

Help participants think about how to design and implement a graduate communication pedagogy practicum. Graduate teaching assistants are integral to the delivery of most M.A. and Ph.D. programs. Providing pedagogical training to equip new teachers with the necessary tools to develop effective instruction not only benefits the student, it enhances the strength and validity of a program. Session will discuss the rationale for developing a pedagogy practicum and examine the different aspects of design and delivery. Participants will receive sample materials including a syllabus, assignments, and a list of recommended texts.
