This event will take place on Zoom.
This is paid pedagogical training for TA’s who attend.
Have slouching, glazed-over, silent students got you down?
Not to worry – this workshop is designed to explore the reasons why your students may be disengaged in the first place and then to find strategies on how to re-engage those learners who may not be riveted to your every word to begin with.
There are many reasons why students may not be participating in your tutorials but they often get maligned by TAs as “unprepared” or “they just don’t care”. While those two are certainly key issues TAs have to deal with on a regular basis, there are a host of reasons why engagement can be tough for an undergraduate student. Identifying those reasons can be a key to unlocking how to re-engage them. Come explore this together in this 1 hour seminar!
