NIH Office of Intramural Training & Education: Scientists Teaching Science
 
Are you interested in learning the basics of successful teaching? Are you thinking about a career in education? If you answered “yes” to either of these questions, consider signing up for the OITE workshop, "Scientists Teaching Science: An Introduction to Best Practices in Science Education." The workshop will provide an introduction to learning styles, teaching philosophies, and course development for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. This workshop is a prerequisite for admission to the in-depth pedagogy course that is offered by the OITE in the spring.
