Session Description:
Although graduate students are often interested in teaching courses at a range of levels during their graduate training, those opportunities are not always available to them. Panelists consider how graduate students can make the most of the teaching opportunities they frequently receive. How can these common (often devalued) teaching opportunities be valuable pedagogical positions?
