With Danny Mann and Ashley Hooper of the Division of Teaching Excellence and Innovation at the University of California Irvine

We often think of pedagogy courses and programs as being useful for sharpening our teaching techniques, but have you ever considered how these might also benefit you personally well beyond the classroom? In this session, we will discuss our findings from a recent study investigating the potential for pedagogy courses and programs to benefit perceived quality of life for doctoral students. Our findings indicate that these courses promote a sense of belonging (by promoting inclusive, multidisciplinary spaces), a source of stability and support (by building community and supportive peer networks), and a greater self-confidence (by providing opportunities to develop greater confidence in teaching, research, and entering the job market). By the end of this session, participants will be equipped with strategies for building supportive communities in their own teaching and learning environments.
