As part of our mission to develop and support teaching capacities at Harvard Kennedy School, SLATE has developed a collection of strategies and resources designed to help instructors move from the early planning phases of their courses through to final assessment and reflection after the course is finished.
While these materials have been designed and curated primarily with HKS instructors in mind, it is our hope that educators at all levels and institutions will find valuable insights on these pages.
