• Attend one teaching statement studio (offered once in Fall and once in Spring).
• Complete all program readings and pre-workshop tasks.
• Conduct/receive at least one teaching observation, either as part of our micro-teaching experience in February or through a separate observation.  
• Submit a revised, final teaching portfolio that includes an original course syllabus, lesson plan, reflections, a teaching statement, and a statement of inclusion and equity.
• Present your work at our end-of-year celebration event.
• Provide peer feedback on teaching portfolio materials and micro-teaching sessions.
• Engage and build community with our learning cohort throughout the year.
