This program provides IUPUI graduate students with the opportunity to develop and document their college teaching skills through a three semester long program which includes face-to-face cohort meetings, feedback on teaching, and creation of materials that you can use in your teaching.
Upon program completion, you will have constructed the foundational components of your teaching portfolio, including:
- sample course materials
- teaching observation reports, and
- a preliminary teaching philosophy statement
New cohorts begin each spring and applications are accepted starting each October. This program is not credit bearing and does not include a fee to participate.
Note: The ESCIP is not a K-12 teacher licensing program. As a result, it will not appear on your transcripts. It can and should be listed on your CV.
