Certificate in University Teaching (CUT)
The Certificate in University Teaching (CUT) is awarded jointly by the Graduate School and the student's academic department. To earn a certificate, the teaching associate must do the following:
- select a faculty member as a teaching mentor and work closely under that person's guidance throughout the teaching associateship
- have their teaching observed and formally critiqued by the teaching mentor
- participate in the leadership of departmental or interdisciplinary teaching workshops
- develop a professional or teaching portfolio
- request a comprehensive teaching assessment by the faculty mentor
- successfully complete the requirements for their degree
Procedures for Completion of the CUT
- Anytime after completing at least two years of a teaching associateship, a teaching associate can complete the portfolio and submit it to the department for approval with the "Portfolio Use Permission Form".
- The primary faculty liaison submits the approved portfolio to Derina Samuel in 423 Bowne Hall, with a cover letter informing the FPP director that the teaching associate has successfully completed the requirements for the Certificate in University Teaching.
- The portfolio has to be submitted prior to the deadline in order to be eligible to receive the Certificate in University Teaching. The 2009 deadline is April 20th.
- The submitted portfolio and all of its contents (e.g., CDs, DVDs, evaluations, letters, etc.) will become a permanent part of the FPP Portfolio Library, and will not be returned.
- The FPP director sends the teaching associate a letter notifying him/her of the successful completion of the certificate requirements.
- The Certificate is presented at the Teaching Associate Recognition Luncheon in April.
