DSHS 890 - Teaching Residency

3 Credits

This course, repeatable 2 times for credit, provides doctoral students with progressive, mentored teaching experience in the health sciences. Under the guidance of experienced faculty, students begin by co-instructing an undergraduate or graduate course within their discipline, gaining hands-on experience in lesson planning, facilitation of class sessions, and assessment of student learning. As the course progresses, students advance to the role of lead instructor, assuming primary responsibility for the design, delivery, and management of a health sciences course. Students will develop a complete syllabus, create and organize course materials within a learning management system, and implement evidence-based, inclusive instructional and andragogical practices. Throughout the experience, students will analyze student feedback and engage in reflective practice, culminating in the development of a personal teaching philosophy that articulates their emerging teaching identity and commitment to effective, equitable teaching.
