It’s an opportunity to connect, collaborate, and be at the forefront of educational innovation.
This event includes a session of special interest to TAs and Instructors – Roundtable: Creating a Dynamic Instructor-Teaching Assistant Team – and takes place at 1:00pm-1:50pm. During this roundtable discussion, both Teaching Assistants and Instructors will share their observations and approaches on how to foster and build strong working partnerships between TAs and Instructors.
