TA Program Coffee Hour: Building Community in the Classroom or Lab

During the TA orientation, the Teaching Mentor team cover a wide breadth of topics that Teaching Assistants will (and have) encountered in our classrooms and labs. We now present the Teaching Assistant Coffee Hour, a space where we will dive deeper into some of these themes.

TAs will have an opportunity to share their experiences with peers and collaboratively workshop through challenges you’ve faced in your own experiences with teaching mentors and peers!

We hope you join us on the last Friday of each month in Lyman Hall 126 to meet peers from different disciplines across campus, share your experience, listen to others’ experiences, and learn new strategies to implement in your classes!  Light refreshments will be provided.

To register for these workshops, please email me directly (scloner@syr.edu).

Building community in the classroom (or lab!)

February 24, 2023, 3:00-4:00 pm:

This coffee hour will be an opportunity to check in on how your classrooms have developed community. If you’re struggling with building a community, come workshop with peers and other teaching mentors to come up with strategies to help create a community foundation for the next part of the semester!
