For anyone (e.g., graduate students, postdocs, and faculty/staff members) who would like to enhance their teaching skills!
“The University of Tokyo Future Faculty Program (UTokyo FFP): Teaching Development in Higher Education” Application now open!

Faculty members are required to have skills not only in research but also in teaching.
The UTokyo FFP will provide you with a practical learning environment to enhance your teaching skills.

★ You can systematically learn “how to teach”!
★ You can build a network across diverse fields!
★ On completion of the program, you receive an official certificate that you can attach to your resume!
★ Graduate students can also receive academic credits!

[What Are the Classes Like?]
Masaki (currently working as a project researcher at the FFP) took the program in the past.
The course lets you learn about how to conduct classes that enhance students’ learning efficiently, and I felt it also helped me learn about how to communicate with people when talking about my research and field.
The program is open to those who are interested in communicating/teaching in a broad sense as well as how to enhance the quality of education.
(Masaki (Project Researcher in charge of FFP))
