Teaching and Learning: Two Principles -- Fall Teaching Conference Opening Plenary by Robin Bernstein

What is the relationship between teaching and learning? How can you learn from teaching? In this session, Professor Robin Bernstein introduces two principles of teaching that will enable you to relax in the classroom, avoid common mistakes, and maximize learning — for your students and yourself. 

Professor Bernstein currently holds a Harvard College Professorship, which recognizes “particularly distinguished contributions to undergraduate teaching and to creating a positive influence in the culture of teaching in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.” In 2021, she received the Everett Mendelsohn Excellence in Mentoring Award, an honor conferred by the Graduate Student Council at Harvard University.

This event is part of the annual Fall Teaching Conference hosted by the Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning, August 18 - 25. New and experienced PhD student teachers can explore key topics in teaching and learning, build community and share advice with TFs across disciplines, and feel prepared and confident as we start a new year of teaching and learning.
