Teaching and learning depend on very intentional planning with outcomes in mind that are assessable. Based on this, we need to plan our learning activities. In this session we will focus on creating learner-centered lessons, recitation, or lab session plans. Participants will walk away with a clear comprehension of the backward design as the backbone of all successful instruction. They will have the opportunity to design a mini lesson to implement the concept for future use.
Facilitator: Seth Hunt, Doctoral Candidate in Plant Biology & GTA in the Biological Sciences Program

GTAs have multiple roles and responsibilities during their graduate studies. Navigating the intricacies related to those several roles can be challenging at times. In this session, we will share how they can set expectations and clarify responsibilities early on, communicate boundaries, and cultivate assertive communication with their advisors and instructors of record. Participants will walk away with strategies they can implement immediately for a successful semester.
