Teaching 201: Running an Educational Outreach Program
Michael Shaw
Wed Jan 25, 07-09:00pm, 1-246

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event

They say teaching is one of the most thankless professions, and they're right. And that's when teachers are getting paid. How do you encourage teachers to volunteer hours of their personal time to an outreach program without burning them out? Its no secret how to teach an amazing class--some professors here at MIT have it 100% covered. But how do you put together an entire program of uniformly excellent classes? In this session, we will examine these questions, and prepare you to run outreach programs here at MIT. Some of the discussion will be specific to the Institute, but much of it will apply more broadly. Anyone interested in directing an ESP program or running other educational outreach opportunities at MIT are encouraged to attend. Current MIT students, our own future master educators, are particularly encouraged to attend.
