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. The institute will be packed with information, experiences, tools, and resources. 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.
