Welcome

What is the Apprenticeship in Teaching (AT) program?

The Apprenticeship in Teaching (AT) program is designed to enhance the preparation of graduate students as teachers. The AT program offers graduate students the chance to participate in workshops and engage in authentic, teaching-related, typical faculty tasks with mentorship from current faculty and CNDLS professional teaching staff. These tasks are designed to give participants increased confidence and preparation for an academic position with teaching responsibilities.

Whom is the AT program for?

The program is not required, but all interested graduate students in both masters and doctoral programs are eligible to participate. There is no charge to students or their department to participate in the AT program. Graduate students at any point in their careers are welcome to participate in the AT program. However, because of the number and variety of requirements, it is recommended that the student begin at least one year, and preferably two years, before graduating. The AT program does not replace departmental teacher preparation courses, but can be incorporated into a larger curriculum of professional development.

Program Requirements

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

  • Submit a Program Registration Form to CNDLS
  • Attend an introductory session, "Introduction to Teaching Resources," held at the beginning of each semester (note: workshop NOT prerequisite to other workshops)
  • Attend an additional six workshops (4 core; 2 elective)
  • Complete four authentic teaching tasks by submission deadlines
  • Notify CNDLS of program completion

Program Completion

Participants must finish the AT program within their graduate career to receive the transcript notation. When you think you have completed all the requirements, please email atprogram@georgetown.edu by the final submission deadlines to confirm your completion of the program.
