Why is this important?
Developing teaching skills and experience will:
- Improve your communication skills.
- Help you determine whether teaching is really a part of what you want to do.
- Give you a leg up on your competition in your search for an academic position, particularly at teaching-focused institutions.
- Prepare you for your first teaching assignment as a professor, so you can focus on setting up your lab and getting grants in your first years before tenure.
