Summaries

Summary Sentence: Current and future international TAs will learn techniques to improve communication in the classroom

Full Summary: No summary paragraph submitted.

In a recent national survey, American students rated approachability, friendliness, and student awareness as the top three desired teacher characteristics.  As teaching assistants, how can you support faculty to exemplify these traits?  In this workshop, you will engage in activities that will challenge your cultural assumptions and perspectives in order to gain insight into understanding and connecting with students.  You will role-play teaching scenarios to practice relationship-building and explore the concept of teaching with empathy.
