Effective teaching and learning of science and math requires the alignment of various components of a course such as course content, learning outcomes, instructional strategies, and assessment methods. This alignment impacts students’ learning and informs the teachers’ teaching. In addition, it is crucial to know how teaching and learning work cognitively. 

In this talk I will introduce a new course whose primary audience is graduate and undergraduate students of science and math who see themselves as future educators. 

Additionally, work on Teaching Certification Program geared to our graduate students is in the works. preliminary thoughts on this certification shall also be shared in this talk.
