This book is a guide for designing professional development
programs for graduate students. The teaching competencies framework
presented here can serve as the intended curriculum for such
programs. The book will also be an excellent resource for
evaluating programs, and will be an excellent resource for
academics who study graduate students. This book presents the work
of the Graduate Teaching Competencies Consortium to identify,
organize, and clarify the competencies that graduate students need
to teach effectively when they join the professoriate. To achieve
this goal, the Consortium developed a framework of 10 teaching
competencies organized around three overarching questions: What do
graduate students need to achieve by the end of their graduate
education to be successful teacher-scholars? What do graduate
students need to understand about higher education to have
successful careers as educators? What do graduate students need to
do to be successful teachers during their graduate student careers?
Although much work has been done to identify the competencies of
effective teachers in higher education, only a small portion of
this work has been conducted with graduate student instructors.
This is an important area of research given that graduate students
are critical in the higher education academic pipeline. Nationally,
graduate students teach between 25% and 50% of courses offered at
the undergraduate level. Graduate student teaching is also critical
because during early teaching experiences teachers establish a
teaching style and set of teaching skills, which will endure as
graduate students enter the professoriate. It is important to
develop a teaching competency framework that is specific to
graduate student instructors as they often have unique needs and
roles as teachers. Moreover, as many professional development
programs for graduate student instructors evolve based upon factors
such as available resources and perceived needs of graduate
students, this framework will be a useful aid for thoughtfully
designing strategic, evidence-based, comprehensive professional
development opportunities and programs.
