Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: emerging (Level 1)(based on Micro-Credential)

  • Undergraduate and graduate student assignments — evaluate and grade using established rubrics under faculty mentorship in a university biology department.
  • Introductory biology lectures — prepare and deliver to undergraduate cohorts on foundational topics such as cell biology or ecology, following a provided course outline.
  • Laboratory activity materials — assemble and organize under the guidance of a supervising professor for scheduled undergraduate lab sessions.
  • Course syllabi and homework handouts — draft initial versions using department templates and word processing software for review by senior faculty.
  • Classroom discussions on biological concepts — facilitate with direction from a supervising instructor, applying active listening to manage student participation.
  • Student laboratory work — monitor and assist during scheduled sessions, following established safety protocols and experimental procedures.
  • Current biological science literature — read and summarize key findings to stay informed of disciplinary developments under the guidance of a research mentor.
  • Student attendance and grade records — maintain accurately in university information systems in compliance with departmental recordkeeping requirements.
  • Scientific and educational software tools — use analytical platforms and course management systems under supervision to support instructional tasks.
  • Active learning strategies — apply basic techniques such as think-pair-share and guided inquiry in small undergraduate classroom settings with faculty oversight.
