Course Description:
The STEP-UP course is an introduction to science education for UCSF postdoctoral scholars and graduate students who are planning on teaching at our partner institutions, serving as teaching assistants at UCSF, or applying to faculty positions in the future. It is a cornerstone of OCPD's Science Teaching Effectiveness Program for Upcoming Professors (STEP-UP) Series, which includes teaching residencies at local institutions. Participants in the course will be given priority for guest lecturing positions at City College of San Francisco (CCSF) through OCPD, and will be invited to join the STEP-UP community for occasional discussions and practice sessions throughout the year.
Timeline:
The STEP-UP course takes place 2-3 times a year.

Topics Covered:
What STEP-UP participants had to say about the course:
“Before this course, I had no idea how to teach and was petrified at the idea that I may have to teach. Now, I have the tools I need and a good starting point if I need to teach. I even think I would like to do it.”
”Before this course, the teaching experience was unclear, mysterious. Now, I think it is doable as long as you have the resource and fundamentals on design and teaching strategies.”
“Before this course, I didn’t have a framework to set-up my lessons and curriculum. I now have a framework to design a wonderful curriculum”
