The seminar focuses on evidenced-based teaching in undergraduate mathematics. It will feature internal and external speakers and workshops to contribute to the professional development of graduate students and faculty. Seminar topics will include classroom practices, assessment, curriculum development, equity, how students learn, and structures for sustaining change.

Undergraduate research can take on many forms. In this talk I will share my strategies for finding appropriate topics and problems, how I scaffold introductory material, and methods to get students asking and solving interesting questions. I will discuss options for intended research outcomes. I will also discuss how to create smaller math projects with undergraduates in mind.

The first day of class is a unique opportunity to set your students' expectations for the course as well as to convey some important messages about your goals and values as an instructor. In this talk, we'll discuss some of the goals that you could accomplish on the first day (social goals, pedagogical goals, broad and content-specific goals) and give concrete examples from different courses.

Since Fall 2024 several Teaching Practice Groups (TPGs) have been meeting in our department to discuss graduate instructors' teaching-related concerns and ideas. The goal of this talk is to describe the history, design, and purpose of TPGs, and initiate discussion of their role in our department. We will overview participant experiences, challenges in implementation, and current and potential benefits of TPGs to our department. As the program is only just maturing, we especially welcome input about what potential TPGs may have. Grad students preparing to begin their teaching career, or in the early phases, are especially encouraged to join to learn about the program and contribute their perspective.
