Teaching as a Graduate Student

We've developed this asynchronous resource guide as a way to jump-start your preparation to teach at BGSU. The modules in this guide are essentially a repository of information related to teaching and learning designed to help you succeed as an instructor. Feel free to use this guide in whatever way will be helpful for you—whether that's moving through one module at a time or finding specific resources relevant to your current situation.

National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity (NCFDD)

Through Bowling Green State University’s institutional membership, all faculty, staff, graduate students, and postdoctoral scholars have access to the National Center for Faculty Development & Diversity (NCFDD), which provides professional development, training, and mentoring activities. NCFDD resources are broadly applicable across academic disciplines and include a range of topics such as time management, overcoming academic perfectionism, how to develop a daily writing plan, how to write grant proposals, and more.
