Class Observation Request
Observing a class is a great way to get a feel for what it would be like to be a student at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. While HGSE professors have varied teaching styles and pedagogies they employ, and there is a wide range of class topics and sizes, the opportunity to sit in on an individual class session can help concretize the academic student experience at our school.
Class observations are no longer available for the spring 2013 semester. They will resume in mid-September for the fall 2013 semester. Please check back then if you are interested in observing a class in the fall.
