CERGE-EI Holds Teaching Fellows Training Course

The CERGE-EI Academic Skills Center (ASC) ran its annual teacher training course for the new cohort of fellows funded by the CERGE-EI Teaching Fellows Program. Sixteen Masters students from ISET in Tbilisi, Georgia joined seven participants from CERGE-EI to take a detailed look into best practices for planning and delivering effective lessons. The CERGE-EI Teaching Fellows program was launched in 2007 to increase the quality of undergraduate teaching in economics universities throughout the CEE and CIS regions. Since then, Teaching Fellows have taught more than 39,000 students at 50 regional universities.
