TA Program Coffee Hour: “The Final Push”: Motivating Students for the End of the Semester

During the TA orientation, the Teaching Mentor (TM) staff covers a wide breadth of topics that Teaching Assistants will (and have) encountered in their classrooms and labs. To continue these conversations, the TA Program announces the return of the Teaching Assistant Coffee Hour, an informal and friendly space where TMs and TAs can dive deeper into many TA-relevant themes. Each coffee hour will have a starting topic or theme, but the conversations can go wherever you like.

TAs will have an opportunity to share their experiences with peers and collaboratively workshop with a supportive group of teaching mentors and teaching assistants!

We hope you will join us each month to meet peers from different disciplines across campus to share your experiences, listen and learn from others, and discuss new strategies to implement in your classes!  Light refreshments will be provided.

“The Final Push”: Motivating students for the end of the semester

This coffee hour will provide a chance to workshop ideas about how to keep your students motivated as the semester draws to a close. If you feel like your students have “checked out” and you’re struggling to keep them motivated to finish the semester strong, come and workshop ideas on how to keep your students (and yourself) inspired as we start to wrap up the Fall semester.

Registration for this session is helpful for space and food purposes.  Please email Shawn Loner (scloner@syr.edu) to RSVP .
