The Classroom Climate TA Training is designed to help TAs develop awareness of and skills for engaging responsibly with Indigenous knowledges and topics in the classroom. In this session, TAs will explore strategies to foster supportive, productive, and inclusive classrooms. Informed by the “What I Learned In Class Today” resources, TAs have an opportunity to build their capacity by focusing on land acknowledgments, historical and ongoing relationship building efforts between UBC and Musqueam, and opportunities to practice strategies and skills that support a more thoughtful and inclusive classroom climate.
