Overview
The Johns Hopkins Teaching Academy offers a multi-day teaching institute to doctoral students and post-docs to advance the development of university-level educators by enhancing classroom teaching skills.

It is our hope that participants will benefit from getting to know one another and working together in a learning community comprised of fellow future faculty preparing for their initial teaching assignments.
