Preparing Future Faculty: An Interdisciplinary, Undergraduate Science Course Taught by Graduate and Postdoctoral Teacher-Scholars

Journal of College Science Teaching – January/February 2007

To adequately prepare future faculty for their multiple roles as researchers, teachers, and colleagues, innovative teaching opportunities must be made available to doctoral students that allow them to maintain a high level of research productivity while acquiring independent teaching experience and training. A new program is developed that offers a unique teaching opportunity for graduate and postdoctoral students in the natural sciences and empowers them as independent teacher-scholars.
