Event Description

This event is part of the TA Institute, taking place from January 15-19, 2024

Online

Eligibility: The TA Institute is open to all undergraduate TAs, graduate students who are interested in teaching, and all graduate student TAs. This session is not open to general staff or faculty.

As a TA, you are an important resource for both students and instructors. You can help build a more equitable learning environment in how you set expectations, manage online and in-person classroom interactions, and in how you approach evaluating student work. Equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) is not just about the content that you teach; it is about how the class is set-up and conducted. In this workshop you will learn about power and privilege within the learning environment, the policies and guidelines that frame your work, and how best to support students as you navigate ethical dilemmas and potential conflicts.

Facilitators:

  • Adam Arca, Graduate Student Facilitator, CCEI TA Project (CTLT & EIO)
  • Daniel Gallardo, Graduate Student Facilitator, CCEI TA Project (CTLT & EIO)
