Graduate Teaching Assistants, you are doing incredible work and many of you have developed teaching strategies, worked with new technology, have found new and innovative ways to run your labs, your recitations, and facilitate learning for teaching remotely.
We would like to have a Lunch and Learn every Wednesday at noon to learn new pedagogy, new teaching strategies, ask Questions and/or discuss brief education articles (no longer than five pages). This is a place to share with Graduate Teaching Assistants and anyone interested in becoming one some great teaching ideas.
