Are you a new or perspective international teaching assistant in Liberal Arts? Do you often have uncertainties about how to do better as an effective educator in the classroom? Are you worried about the amount of preparation, course material drafting, and talking in the classroom while studying for your own degree using English as a second language? The good news is – we got you covered!
 
The Center for Teaching Excellence – English Language Proficiency Program (CTE-ELPE) is hosting a lunch group for international TAs who teach in Liberal Arts. Spring 2019 will be our second semester and we prepared great content for you! The group meet for lunch on-campus at 11:15 to 12:15 once every month to discuss common issues and concerns regarding teaching in the American classroom. It is a safe environment for international TAs to learn, listen, share, and support each other. Faculty members, experienced TAs, and language experts will come share their expertise with the group. Topics that will be covered in this semester’s meetings include how to handle difficult situations in the classroom, effective grading, and making most of the advisor-student relationship.
