This Fall Break, take a BREAK and FALL into a good book! What better way to spend Fall Break than with one of the many books on teaching and learning from the Kaneb Center’s extensive library? If you have a specific pedagogical question, we can also help guide you to some helpful selections.
Beyond brushing up on your knowledge of pedagogy, if you’re looking to diversify your teaching portfolio and gain additional professional development experience, you should consider applying for the Kaneb Center’s Graduate Associate opening (see the call below for more information).
Call for Applications: 2015 Kaneb Center Graduate Associates
The Kaneb Center for Teaching and Learning seeks graduate students with Notre Dame teaching experience to serve as Kaneb Center Graduate Associates for the spring of 2015 and the 2015-2016 academic year.

Graduate associates will receive training (required) to prepare them to serve as workshop leaders and mentors.
