Productive Graduate Student Teaching Retreat 2024:

Day 1: Teaching Excellence – May 8, 8:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

Day 2: Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging – May 9, 9:00 a.m. – 1:15 p.m. 

Description: This productive retreat is designed to provide intentional space for individual and collective reflection about students’ own current or future teaching practices (or both). It is also designed with practical outcomes in mind. Graduate students should leave this retreat equipped with practical knowledge about creating and using different teaching-related documents, like syllabi and teaching statements. Graduate students will have an opportunity to connect with their peers, faculty members, and teaching consultants from the Center for Teaching and Learning throughout the retreat.

This working retreat has four primary goals:

1. To provide meaningful time for graduate students to reflect individually on their current and/or future teaching practices;
2. To equip graduate students with essential teaching tools and documents (e.g., writing or revising teaching and DEI statements, learning about restorative justice and conflict resolution in the classroom, and how D2L supports student learning) through practical workshops;
3. To offer opportunities for dialogue about teaching between faculty and graduate students across the university, including in 1:1 individual consultations;
4. To deepen the graduate student teaching community at Marquette.

Full schedule will be available soon!

*Breakfast, lunch, and snacks will be provided!
