EDUC 297: Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (CTL 297)
This course is co-taught by Mariatte Denman, Associate Director of the Center on Teaching and Learning. It provides POLS students with an opportunity to focus on teaching and learning along with doctoral students from many disciplines throughout the university. Students watch and interview master teachers at Stanford, prepare a syllabus module for a workshop or class they might teach, and learn a range of effective pedagogical methods. Preparing an analytic paper is an alternative for those who do not want to prepare a syllabus module. The course is open not only to POLS students who expect to work in higher education, but also to students interested in K-12 education, and they may develop a teaching module for use in those schools.
