Class Details

We will explore theory and practice of learning collaboratively in teams, focusing on both workshop facilitation skills and the skills associated with being an active participant. We will engage with topics relevant to teaching, learning, and academic support through a mix of readings, reflections, and discussions from a variety of academic disciplines including: education, student development, cognitive and behavioral psychology, communication, and quantitative reasoning. This course is relevant to all, but is recommended for tutors and TAs working with students.
