Pedagogy Requirements for funded PhD Students<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n History Dept.’s Professional Lives of Historians\u00a0<\/strong>Course:<\/strong><\/p>\n The pro-seminar course is required for all incoming history PhD students beginning fall 2019 and later. It can be taken as an elective by all other history graduate students. Students in this course will learn about the many career pathways open to historians with graduate degrees and begin to prepare for careers after graduation.\u00a0Funded PhD students who started before fall 2019 are required to attend 8 pedagogy seminars by the time they begin teaching their own courses in year 4.<\/em><\/p>\n History Dept. Teaching Mentors<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Each PhD student teaching on their own as an instructor\/teacher of record is required to select a teaching mentor from among the history faculty and check-in with the mentor throughout the semester. Email Dr. Mooney-Melvin with questions about this requirement.<\/em><\/p>\n Teaching Statements<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Each PhD student must draft a teaching statement by their second year. Writing a teaching statement provides students with the opportunity to reflect on their experiences as discussion section leaders and teachers of record, as well as to identify their own unique pedagogical values. Writing a teaching statement early in the program and updating it each year provides a way for each student to measure growth and change as an instructor. In addition, teaching statements are must-haves for anyone interested in teaching after graduation. Similarly, most pre- and post-doctoral teaching fellowship applications require teaching statements.
