Johns Hopkins University Teaching Institute (Online)

June 9, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 3:00 pm EDT

The Johns Hopkins Teaching Institute is a multi-day teaching institute designed to help doctoral students and post-docs become successful and confident classroom teachers. Participants will explore the benefits of active learning, ongoing assessment, and fostering inclusive classrooms.  Participants will examine a variety of teaching practices and principles and will also participate in peer-evaluated micro-teaching exercises or choose to present a lesson plan that they develop as part of the teaching institute. By the end of the institute, participants will:

  • Explore and test multiple teaching methods that engage and assess diverse students;
  • Develop skills and strategies to continue growing as reflective instructors who employ evidence-informed teaching methods;
  • ​​​​​​​Identify strategies that improve student learning outcomes for all students;
  • Work in small groups to share ideas, build new skills, and cultivate partnerships in teaching and learning;
  • Create a peer-reviewed lesson plan;
  • Present their lesson plan or facilitate a micro-teaching exercise to their peer group.

This online institute meets daily from Tuesday, June 6 through Friday, June 9. Synchronous sessions run from 9AM to 3PM Eastern Time, with scheduled breaks. Participants can see a detailed schedule upon registration.
