Does this teaching experience mean anything?

[boogiecousins94]

I just found out I have to help teach a lab portion of a course for graduate students at one of the ivy med schools where I work full time in a lab.

Since it's a grad class it's about developmental bio and I have to help teach the lab portion about a specific technique- qPCR along with physically doing it, the background, analyses etc

For schools that encourage updates does this mean anything?

Thanks for the help, I feel like it doesn't mean much but thoughtd I ask anyway

-As Teaching: No, as it hasn't happened yet, so having a teaching experience from it has yet to accrue in any benefit.
-As an Honor: No, it's part of your job and you weren't the subject of a selective application process.

Is this for the next term? How many total hours might it eventually turn out to be?

I have a similar question. I'm currently teaching a lab myself (taught it previously) and I will have an additional 400 hours of experience. I've done quite a few thing differently, including focusing upon improving the study skills of first generation college student. Would it be worth an update at the end of the semester to schools that do accept updates?

Definitely, yes.
