Seip, "We Shall Gladly Teach" - Preparing History Graduate Students For The Classroom

Abstract

Noting the increased attention over the last decade to the quality of postsecondary teaching of history, historian Terry Seip has written a useful pamphlet on the topic. His target audience is university departments of history with graduate programs in which graduate students work as teaching assistants with faculty and/or as instructors of their own courses. Rather than offering a training manual or teaching handbook, Seip has prepared what he calls a "'good practices' proposal for departments to consider and modify" as they develop a history teaching program for their graduate students.
