TA Roundtable: Building Community Using Restorative Practices
Tuesday, April 25, 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
FreeSo, you’ve become a teaching assistant (TA)… now what? Supporting an instructor, program, or department in planning, instructing, or assessing designated course curricula can be complicated. But you’re not alone! Come discuss your experiences as a TA with fellow students working through similar situations. All undergraduate TAs, graduate TAs, and graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) are welcome.
This session will focus on restorative practices as a TA. Teaching assistants often navigate potentially awkward or tense situations between students, faculty, and even themselves. Building community in and out of the classroom can create a strong foundation for future relationships. We’ll define restorative and transformative practices, brainstorm how we are already implementing them in our practice, and different skills we can learn together.
Here is a chapter from the book, Remote Teaching: a Guide for Teaching Assistants you may find helpful for context and can serve as an opening for our discussion: https://ecampusontario.pressbooks.pub/teachingassistants/chapter/community/
**This workshop counts toward the Graduate Teaching Program workshop credit.**
Facilitated by Maddy Pimental, CTL Graduate Assistant
