Abstract
A successful model, developed over numerous years, effectively prepares graduate students for teaching. A cohort of four to six students participates in a dedicated course covering FERPA, university policies, teaching strategies, and textbook familiarization. The training culminates in hands-on, observed teaching experience before the students lead Introductory Psychology courses.
