Design and Facilitation of Small Group Activities

Event Date & Time

Event Description

Want to promote collaborative and peer-to-peer learning among your learners?  Join us in this workshop where we discuss cognitive, behavioral, and social benefits of cooperative learning.  In this interactive session, we would explore steps to design group activities, techniques to prevent potential challenges, and strategies to implement successful group activities.

This session is part of the Lesson Planning theme (which also includes TAing in a Culturally Diverse Classroom and Classroom Assessment Techniques: Know Why and How to Assess) and the Teaching Strategies theme (which also includes Classroom Assessment Techniques: Know Why and How to Assess and TAing in Large Classrooms: What to Expect, How to Excel).

The Teaching Assistant (TA) Institute is open to any graduate student who is interested in teaching or TAing, and includes sessions on teaching strategies, teaching development, lesson planning, teaching practice, and teaching reflection.

In order to complete a theme, you much register for and complete each of the sessions that are a part of that theme. The TA Institute webpage will be live in January 2018. You must complete the pre-session module on the TA Institute webpage before the institute begins, and the post session module after the final session in the theme. If you complete the whole theme, you will be eligible for a signed letter of completion to be placed in your Teaching Portfolio.
