Beginning September 21, Georgia Tech faculty and graduate teaching assistants (GTA) will have the opportunity to participate in a series of listening sessions focusing on classroom experiences.

The 1-hour sessions, hosted by the Academic Re-Start Task Force, will help develop ideas for a successful spring semester and will be shared with campus administrators and the Institute Restart Task Forces. 

The goal of the series is to provide insight into perceptions of instructional effectiveness, student engagement, the usefulness of technology, and consistency/clarity of communication and expectations. Sessions for faculty will focus on a specific course mode (i.e., hybrid, remote, residential). Sessions for GTAs will discuss topics more broadly and will be tailored to address questions more relevant to graduate students serving in these instructional roles.

Listening sessions will be limited to 12 participants per session to allow everyone's voice to be heard. The schedule of next week’s listening sessions is listed below:

Faculty sessions:

  • 21-Sep 10:00-11:00 AM (Hybrid)
  • 21-Sep 12:00-1:00 PM (Remote)
  • 22-Sep 2:00-3:00 PM (Hybrid)
  • 23-Sep 1:00-2:00 PM (Hybrid)
  • 24-Sep 1:00-2:00 PM (Residential)
  • 24-Sep 3:00-4:00 PM (Remote)

GTA sessions:

  • 23-Sep 9:00-10:00 AM
  • 25-Sep 12:00-1:00 PM
