“I have greater confidence in my teaching abilities and continue to strive to use best teaching practices for student learning.”
“Yes, I actually believe I can be a teacher, in fact now I know I can, and find it much more interesting and rewarding...”
“[The Teaching Academy] challenged me to constantly self-evaluate my teaching strategies to make sure I'm learning how to more effectively communicate while my students are learning the material I'm teaching.”
“I feel more confident to step into the role of facilitating a class session and sharing what I know about a topic. I feel less like a complete peer to students and more capable as a mentor and role model to students who are just a few years younger than me.”
“The Teaching Academy was a major determining factor in my choice of graduate school. This program will prepare me for my future profession by providing me with the opportunity to learn the pedagogical foundation needed to be a great professor, as well as to learn from great professors and improve my teaching technique.”

STATEMENT OF SOLIDARITY

The Johns Hopkins Teaching Academy stands in solidarity with those who are grieving the loss of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, David McAtee, Freddie Gray, and all black people killed by the police. We grieve the countless lives cut short by structural racism and white supremacy and all those living under constant daily oppression. The disproportionate impact of the current pandemic on people of color highlights the racism and inequity that are entrenched in our social systems of health, education, research, business, industry and justice.

We reaffirm our commitment to developing and sharing Culturally Responsive Teaching practices, instructional approaches that foster inclusive classrooms and critical pedagogy so that all learners know that their thoughts and ideas matter and that regardless of the discipline – they belong. It will not be enough but it will be one way that we can work towards dismantling the systems of inequality that exist in our institutes of higher education.

We welcome you to help us find new ways to connect and support each other, and to helping create the kind of change we want to see. Please do not hesitate to reach out with ideas or requests, teachingacademy@jhu.edu.
