This course is for SBS who want to learn to teach their peers to be successful in college. Students assist a primary instructor in the teaching of a First Year Seminar that meets weekly throughout the semester. In addition, some assignments will occasionally require working with the FY students outside of class. Students in this class meet weekly in their own seminar where they discuss issues around classroom management, teaching techniques, and organizational skills, such as working with Moodle or another LMS.
This class is for students who are teaching assistants in SBS First Year Seminars. In this course, we will learn about student development theory and pedagogy. We will also focus on providing support to TAs in their roles and their professional development.
