Preparing PhD students for field and classroom teaching!

bioCEED and iEarth are in the planning stage for a new 3-days teaching and learning course at UNIS this spring. This course mainly aims to provide PhD students at UNIS with some basic learning theory and concepts, practical approaches, tools and skills for classroom and field teaching. The course is a part of an ongoing process of rethinking around how to better structure and prepare PhD students for their teaching obligations which for many is a part of their four year PhD programme and how to develop their teaching skills through their time at UNIS. The course will be run by Ivar Nordmo from UiB and taught together with teachers from UNIS.
