What kind of training would I receive?
What is co-teaching all about?
Team-teaching allows TFs to learn from one another's strengths. Graduate and undergraduate TFs are a tremendous resource to one another. Graduate TFs usually have more experiences in Psychology, while undergraduate TFs have actually been through Psych One at Stanford.
Do I get academic credit for teaching?
Undergraduate TFs register for Psych 182 to receive course credit for participation in the Psych One Program. Graduate TFs can register for Psych 282.
Do I need to be a Psychology major?
No! We've frequently had folks with other major as undergraduate TFs. While Psychology PhD students have priority for spots as graduate TFs, there are sometimes opportunities for non-Psychology PhD students as well.
How to get involved:
- A day-long orientation will be held on the Friday before the start of fall quarter
- Weekly meetings will provide ongoing training
- Online resources, including sample lesson plans, activities, video clips, discussion questions, and articles on teaching
- Section visits by Jennifer at least once per quarter to provide support and feedback
