We are excited to announce the inaugural Graduate Students/Post-docs Teaching in Higher Education Conference: Empowering the Next Generation of Educators, a unique virtual gathering dedicated to graduate students and postdoctoral scholars who are actively engaged in teaching within higher education, either as sessionals/adjuncts, teaching assistants (TAs), or other teaching-type of positions.

This conference provides a platform for emerging and early career educators to share innovative teaching practices, explore new pedagogical strategies, and network with peers invested in improving teaching and supporting student learning. The sessions are organized so that you can engage with topics necessary to fulfill your role as a TA and/or instructor in higher education. It is designed to help you develop and improve your teaching skills and a great opportunity to connect and share your ideas and experiences with other graduate students/post-docs.

If you are selected to be a presenter at this conference, you will receive an acknowledgement letter from the conference organizer to include in your teaching portfolio/dossier.

As an attendee, if you attend at least six sessions and submit a reflective one-page essay, you will receive a certificate acknowledging your engagement with enhancing the support you provide to students.
