Graduate Student Teaching Orientation Debrief Session (ONLINE)

Are you a graduate student teaching for the first time, or looking for guidance on how to prepare for your first week of classes? If you haven’t done so already, enroll in the Teaching Orientation for Graduate Students, organized by the Center for Teaching and Learning at this link to access resources on the following topics:

• Establishing instructional goals and an inclusive learning climate
• Overview of TA roles and teaching support
• Creating a policy sheet and first day of class plan
• Common TA challenges and campus resources to help navigate them
• Next steps for teaching and professional development

Once you’ve completed these modules, we invite you to join the CTL for this 60-minute, synchronous (live) online session on September 2nd to debrief big ideas from the Orientation modules, think about the application of these ideas to your specific teaching practice, get feedback about materials you’ve prepared for the first day of classes, and ask burning questions you have about teaching this semester. Completion of the online modules is strongly encouraged prior to joining this session in order to ensure meaningful participation in planned activities. This session will be facilitated by Caitlin DeClercq, Assistant Director of Graduate Student Programs and Services at the CTL.

Registrants will be sent a Zoom link prior to the start of the session. Event regisration will close the day before this event. For same-day registration, please email CTLgrads@columbia.edu.
