Videotape Consultation
Two videotape consultations (based on recitation sections, laboratory sections, or courses the graduate teacher is teaching for a full semester) are required for the GTP graduate teacher certification. Consultations are confidential and non-evaluative. The graduate teacher, in consultation with a Graduate Teacher Program staff consultant or lead graduate teacher, develops a plan for improvement based on video self-assessment. The first videotape consultation should be completed early in the program; the second at least three months later. Public speaking engagements, talks in colloquia, or single lectures given in the place of a faculty member may not be used to complete the videotape consultation portion of Graduate Teacher Certification.
To schedule a videotape consultation contact your lead graduate teacher first. If your department has no lead graduate teacher, or he or she is busy call the Graduate Teacher Program, and one of our consultants will work with you.
