KSAS Graduate Teaching Seminar, Spring 2026
(some) Wednesdays, 12 – 1:15pm Eastern
Brody Learning Commons, Room 4040
The KSAS Graduate Teaching Seminar is a workshop and forum for graduate students and post-docs interested in discussing teaching strategies and collaborating to generate solutions to challenges in the classroom. We welcome graduate students and post-docs from all Krieger School departments to attend any sessions that may be helpful for their teaching practice and professional development.
This semester’s workshops will be an ongoing series focused on a single (but big!) topic: Discussion. What do successful discussions look like? How can we best plan and facilitate them? What’s the point of doing them at all? We’ll work on those questions, among others.
Schedule
The five workshops are designed as a sequence. Each session will build upon previous ones, so the more of them you can attend the more we think you’ll get out of each. However, attending all is certainly not required. You’re very welcome to attend whichever sessions best fit your schedule or most interest you. If you’d like to participate in the full series but have a conflict with a particular session, please contact Allon and he’ll be happy to help you get caught up.
