Assessing Graduate Student Professional Development for Teaching: Needs and Progress With PAC-Math
Page: 1431
The Program Assessment Conference in Mathematics (PAC-Math, DUE# 2036211) was hosted in October 2023 at the University of Tennessee Knoxville. The conference produced key components to build a protocol for mathematics departments to self-assess their professional development for teaching provided to graduate students in mathematics. We describe previously presented results of a census survey of mathematics PhD programs conducted in Fall 2021 that reinforces the need in higher-ed mathematics for tools to do this assessment work, confirming results from a similar survey conducted in 2015. In this poster we outline the protocol, departmental resources needed to undertake this assessment work and questions of interest for the RUME community.
