A Pedagogical Coffee Hour
Proposal abstract :
This proposal is for funding to support a “pedagogy coffee hour” for Claremont Graduate University graduate students. We propose six 50-minute meetings an academic year, distributed over two years. The hope is that holding these meetings for two years rather than one will allow for more continuity and establish these meetings as part of a new shift in culture at CGU that prioritizes the professionalization of our students. The coffee hours can have a variety of formats, ideally be held in the early evening. They can be relatively informal, with light food and refreshments and either a guest speaker or a guest panel. Topics will directly address student concerns and anxiety in terms of preparation for the teaching profession
