This is the multi-semester Teaching Development Program that we will be integrating into the Fall Supervised Teaching course and the larger Spring Teaching College Art course. You could also complete the program (or just do some of the parts of it) yourself.
You can attend the zoom on Thursday or Friday if you want to know more. I will be joining, so I will have more information for you if you can't make it to the zoom.</div>

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The Center for the Advancement of Teaching now offers a multi-semester Teaching Development Program (TDP) for graduate students! CAT Grads TDP is a flexible, non-credit bearing professional development opportunity through
which graduate students will explore how research on learning can enhance their teaching, and learn strategies for successful teaching at FSU and beyond. In addition to enhancing their teaching practices (and confidence!), we hope the program will improve
participants’ success on the academic job market after they graduate. More information about the program is available on our webpage:
