Resumen de Beyond the Teaching Assistantship: CURE Leadership as a Training Platform for Future Faculty

Barbara Cascella, Joseph M. Jez

• We advocate for use of the course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) as a training platform for graduate students and postdoctoral scientists interested in becoming faculty of primarily undergraduate institutions. Acting as a CURE leader and coteacher is an immersive teaching experience that allows future faculty to practice a range of teaching techniques, create instructional materials, and develop a teaching philosophy based on actual practice beyond that of a standard teaching assistantship.
