“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.”

Welcome to the Teaching Academy

The Teaching Academy offers Ph.D. students and Post-doctoral Fellows from all divisions across Johns Hopkins University, college teacher training and academic career preparation opportunities through courses, workshops, teaching practicums, teaching-as-research fellowships, and individual consultation. Our programs and community are committed to developing and sharing Culturally Responsive Teaching practices and instructional approaches that engage students, support improved learning outcomes, and foster inclusive classrooms and critical pedagogy.

We invite you to take part in any of the Teaching Academy offerings on an ad-hoc basis. However, if you are considering a career in academia, you may wish to consider committing more fully to your professional development and teaching preparation by participating in the full Certificate of Completion Program.

We always welcome you to help us find new ways to build community and to engage in training that best supports your development as an educator. Please do not hesitate to reach out with ideas or requests, [email protected].
