Held in January each year by the Vanderbilt Center for Teaching, GradSTEP provides workshops and discussions on teaching, learning, and professional development issues across the disciplines. All graduate and professional students and post-doctoral fellows are invited to attend the workshop on Saturday, January 23, 2010 from 9:30am-3:30pm at the Divinity School . This year’s GradSTEP theme, Whole Teachers, suggests a holistic approach to the art of teaching, emphasizing personal, community, and environmental sustainability as key components of professional development. Workshop topics include effective presentation skills, course and syllabus design, teaching relationships, ethics around Facebook, teaching evaluations and student feedback, finding balance, and more.
