Physics Grad Students' Education Page

(If you are thinking about a PhD in Physics Education Research, you should check the PER Phd requirements page.)

Got a TA assignment, and looking for some ideas to help you out? Here are some tips, and ideas, to help smooth your transition from student to teacher.

John Taylor's teaching tips: A "top 10 list": short, sweet, and important!
Steve Pollock's teaching tips: 3 pages, breezy and readable, aimed at common TA duties here at CU.
An informal powerpoint talk aimed at grad students (in any discipline) with some ideas about teaching philosophy, scholarship, tips, and data.
Physics Education workshop: 8 pages, a little stiffer. This is not just "teaching tips" - it's a first guide to some deeper ideas about teaching as a scholarly activity (and the research behind it). (Also aimed more specifically at Physics teaching.)
References and further reading: Just a few links to get you going if you'd like to learn more about physics education research, and how it applies to classroom teaching!

Here are Logistical details of our summer Education workshop (Basically, notes for future workshop instructors, a summary of my summer '03 teaching improvement project work), Supplemental materials for the workshop (again aimed at future workshop instructors) and some powerpoint slides used in part of the workshop.
