Yale Center for Teaching and Learning

2016-2017 Associates in Teaching

June 16, 2016

The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences with support from the Yale Center for Teaching and Learning, is pleased to announce that ten courses will be taught during the 2016-2017 academic year as part of the Associates in Teaching Program (AT) program.

The AT program supports Yale College courses team-taught by GSAS doctoral students and faculty members. Initiated in 2009, this program requires that doctoral students conceptualize or redesign, plan, and deliver an undergraduate course with mentorship, and in partnership, with a Yale faculty member. Evidence from previous years indicates that this program not only provides expanded teaching opportunities for graduate students, and facilitates team teaching, it also creates a pedagogically exciting opportunity for undergraduate students to learn from graduate students who bring unique knowledge and skills into the classroom.

Nineteen applications were considered and eleven were selected. One course was withdrawn after selection. The Selection Committee was comprised of three faculty members who have previously taught AT courses and who represent the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences Divisions, as well as Graduate School and CTL representatives.

The GSAS and CTL are proud to announce the 2016-2017 Associates in Teaching courses:
