What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populatedfrom NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Associate's Degree)

Lectures on intermediate chemistry topics such as analytical chemistry and chemical separation — prepare and deliver independently to undergraduate cohorts in a semester-based course structure.
Student compliance with laboratory safety rules — establish, reinforce, and monitor routinely across multiple lab sections in a postsecondary chemistry department.
Student class work, laboratory performance, and written papers — evaluate and grade consistently using self-developed rubrics with reduced faculty oversight.
Undergraduate laboratory work across a range of experimental techniques — supervise and troubleshoot common procedural issues during scheduled lab periods.
Examinations for undergraduate chemistry courses — compile, administer, and grade independently, delegating item review tasks to teaching assistants as appropriate.
Course materials including syllabi, problem sets, and reference handouts — prepare and revise each semester based on student performance data and curriculum updates.
Graduate teaching assistants assigned to laboratory sections — orient, direct, and provide feedback on their instructional performance within a defined course framework.
Learning management and scheduling software — utilize to coordinate course calendars, post materials, and communicate assignment deadlines to enrolled students.
Student learning strategies — adapt instructional approaches for familiar non-routine cases such as mixed skill-level cohorts in general chemistry courses.
Chemistry and biology knowledge domains — integrate across course content to contextualize chemical concepts within broader scientific systems for undergraduate learners.
