Teaching Requirement

Teaching is a highly transferrable skill that BBS believes to be central to the role of a scientist in society. Pedagogy (the strategies and techniques or “art” of teaching) allows the communication of scientific concepts, principles, methods and details for the training of others. Teaching is also a powerful vehicle to offer mentorship and encouragement to others. 

The BBS program requires that each student fulfill one semester as a non-paid teaching fellow primarily in BBS Core Courses.  Additionally, all BBS first time TFs are required to participate in a preparatory short course in pedagogy prior to their service.

For more information on our TF requirement, review the Teaching Fellow Policy.
