LFS TA Workshop – Returning to In-Person Teaching (Livestreaming Available)

Standard
Hello LFS TAs,
Happy Wednesday! As announced previously, we are going to have a ’Student Participation & Engagement, Returning to In-Person Teaching’ Workshop tomorrow (Feb 17th) 11AM-12PM at MCML 258.
For any folks who would like to attend but cannot make it in person, livestreaming is also available at:
This workshop will go over some different teaching strategies to promote student participation as you transition from online to in-person spaces. It will also help identify some strategies for TAs to help mediate non-compliance of COVID-19 policies in classroom spaces, and other behavioural disruptions that previous TAs have had to address with in-person teaching. This workshop will go over topics that are relevant for TAs who are completely new to in-person teaching and those who have taught in-person prior to COVID-19. All experience levels are welcomed! 
To help keep everyone safe, we will follow all UBC COVID-19 procedures for distancing, mask wearing and sanitizing of indoor spaces. To help us set up the room, please RSVP using the Qualtrics link below:
 
We will provide coffee and donuts at the end of the session that can be taken to go. (Yay!)
Cheers,
