This special problems course is designed to provide opportunities for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars pursuing a Certificate in College Teaching and Learning to explore special problems related to college teaching that bridge or fall outside the domain of departmental efforts; graduate students exploring faculty development as a career option; and students who currently hold full-time teaching positions in colleges or universities and who are interested in professional development or credentialing in College Teaching and Learning. May be repeated to a maximum of six credits.

The Practicum is a mentored teaching experience that not only immerses the graduate student in teaching by also fosters reflection on the experience, provides structured feedback and plans for improvement, and guides students in developing a teaching portfolio. The practicum requires that the graduate student assume full responsibility for a course, under the guidance of a mentor teacher. Supervision for the practicum experience is a joint responsibility of the Teaching and Learning Center, certificate faculty, and the student's mentor.
