Effective Faculty/TA Teams

Session Description

The Center for the Advancement of Teaching (CAT) and the Center for Education Innovation and Learning in the Sciences (CEILS) have collaborated to create a workshop for faculty and TAs centered around what TAs wish faculty knew about their experience teaching during this extraordinary time. The session will be centered around questions of disruptions and difficulties that TAs are experiencing, how faculty and TAs can best communicate with each other, how to manage work expectations in this time of disruption, and how to function as a team in order to meet students’ needs.

Session facilitated by: CAT's TA Training Program and CEILS / CIRTL
