Event Description

Instructors take on many roles, some expected and others less so. This session will discuss the multiple responsibilities TA’s take on as instructors in the classroom, including those associated with teaching, mentorship, discipline, listening, and making the classroom an inclusive space. Additionally, we will discuss effective ways to balance these roles, and how to set appropriate boundaries between instructor and student.
