One responsibility of a TA is to make sure that all students have the opportunity to succeed in the classroom by working with the Office of Disability Services (ODS) to offer reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities. This workshop, co-led by experienced TAs and ODS, will familiarize TAs with the accommodations process and discuss the resources available to TAs and students.

This session will be held in-person in Piscataway at EOSHI and New Brunswick at CINJ. Lunch will be served at both locations. Others can participate via Zoom.

Event Description

Summer classes present TAs with different challenges and opportunities, both in person and online. Because these courses have both a compressed time period and longer classes, instructors need to find different ways of presenting their material. This workshop will present ways to teach effectively during the summer, in a traditional classroom and in an online classroom.

Mentoring for Social Justice and Community-Building in Higher Education

with Anneliese Singh, PhD, LPC, Chief Diversity Officer at Tulane University

March 30, 12-2pm, Zoom

Register at: https://go.rutgers.edu/anneliesesingh

Talk Description

Mentoring of students in higher education often centers students’ academic and career development without a sufficient power analysis to understand how structural issues and social identities shape the mentoring relationship itself. In this talk, Anneliese Singh will apply sociocultural and critical race theories to mentoring, guiding participants through a deconstruction of the ideas and beliefs that shape our understandings of mentoring and moving toward an analysis of the structural forces that inform mentoring relationships, all in service of cultivating a more just and power-conscious mentoring practice. Participants will learn power-conscious mentoring strategies that can be implemented across disciplinary areas to support undergraduate and graduate students’ personal, professional, and academic thriving. Anneliese will intersperse breakout rooms and discussion prompts throughout the talk, offering participants an active space to reflect and make connections to their own mentoring practice with students.
