About the Event
Description: This session presents a scalable, AI-enhanced onboarding framework designed to improve graduate instructor readiness. The model integrates AI-simulated student personas, structured competency-based workshops, and a weighted performance evaluation system to create measurable instructional growth. Participants will explore how simulation-based rehearsal and data-informed feedback loops strengthen pedagogical decision-making, consistency across courses, and instructor confidence. The framework offers a replicable approach for institutions seeking to modernize and standardize instructor preparation.
