Interactive Teaching Techniques for Teaching Assistants

By asking students questions based on key concepts, you engage students' interest and intelligence. You also learn what concepts they find most confusing. By having a whole class BE a demonstration, you can involve students even more in their learning. This session discusses the reasons for interactive teaching and provides examples of questions and techniques that you can use or adapt for your own teaching.

Effective TA Communication with Faculty and Students

As a teaching assistant, you bridge the gap between students and faculty, and both groups often request a lot of your time and energy. Using miniature case studies and role plays, you will develop skills in communicating in an assertive and friendly way.

Open to all SoE Grad Students and TAs!
