Certificate in College Teaching Mentored Teaching Experience

The Mentored Teaching Experience is a requirement for all students enrolled in MUS 964, and is meant to be an opportunity for students to work closely with a faculty mentor(s) to broaden their teaching experiences and develop their teaching skills. The Mentored Teaching Experience MUST go beyond simple laboratory or grading assignments. It should culminate in a Teaching Project developed by the graduate student in conjunction with a faculty member and focused on one aspect of teaching (i.e. testing, curriculum development, etc.). The project should include:

1. A proposal, which will be approved by the instructor and faculty mentor
2. The work of the project itself
3. A reflection on the project written by the student to be included in the portfolio
4. A review of the project by the faculty mentor. The Teaching Project can focus on one of many aspects of college teaching, depending on the possibilities and preferences of the student and faculty mentor. (Optional: Students may also wish to document their project with a paper intended for publication on a topic regarding an issue in higher education in music; bibliography must contain a minimum of 10 citations. Also submit a list of the possible journals to which you plan to submit the article.)
