| Description: |
Laboratory teaching assistants use key linguistic and pedagogical skills to enhance the learning of their students and to keep them safe while working with potential hazards. In this first of two workshops, participants will develop proficiency in communicating safety protocols, monitoring student engagement, and addressing confusion.
Learning Outcomes: Participants will be able to...
1. Identify ongoing instructional duties in the lab, even when students are working independently.
2. Anticipate predictable communication but also be prepared to respond to unexpected situations.
3. Choose the appropriate degree of assertiveness when giving students a suggestion or command.
4. Confidently initiate interactions with undergraduate students.
5. Utilize strategies for responding to confusing questions from students.
This is a two-part workshop. Those who attend Part 1 will automatically be registered for Part 2 the following week. |
