Teaching and Pedagogy Support:
The Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE) at Rice offers a variety of courses and workshops to help students develop as teachers and prepare for the job market, including the opportunity to earn a Certificate in Teaching and Learning.
CTE courses can be taken as stand-alone courses. It is highly recommended that students take at least UNIV 500, a 3-credit course focused on topics such as course and syllabus design, student engagement, and classroom management.
Mentored Teaching in the Department of History:
Graduate students in the Department of History have the opportunity to participate in a Mentored Teaching experience, typically during the third year of study.

The Program in Writing and Communication (PWC) hires a number of graduate students each semester for instructor and teaching assistant positions, as well as writing coaches, for the University's First-Year Writing Intensive Seminars (FWIS).
