The Apprenticeship in Teaching (AT) Program offers a structured approach to the valuable mentoring that occurs within graduate programs concerning excellent teaching practice. Students who wish to participate will be asked to prepare a Plan of Completion with their Director of Graduate Studies. There is no charge to students or their department to participate in the AT program. Copies of the student's Plan will be filed in the student's home department, as well as with CNDLS and the Graduate School.

In order to receive a notation on the academic transcript, students must complete the following requirements:

• Attend an introduction to teaching resources at Georgetown, held at the beginning of every semester.
• Attend six workshops, four of which are core and mandatory.
• Write a teaching philosophy statement.
• Create a syllabus.
• Observe a class.
• Practice teaching in a structured environment and be videotaped for pedagogical purposes.

The Apprenticeship in Teaching (AT) Program is designed to enhance the preparation of graduate students as teachers. The AT program does not replace disciplinary teacher preparation courses, but can be incorporated into a larger curriculum of professional development offered by departments. The program is not required, but all interested graduate students in both masters and doctoral programs are eligible to participate in it. The AT Program can help document a graduate student's evolving teaching experience at Georgetown and can be included in a job application packet. Participants must finish the program within their graduate career to receive the certificate and transcript notation.

Required workshops:

• Effective Classroom Interaction
• Assessment and Grading
• The Teaching Portfolio
• Syllabus Design: Fundamentals & Innovations
• Two elective workshops chosen from a variety of workshops offered through CNDLS or another approved source.
