It can be frustrating when students don’t demonstrate the critical thinking you expect in class. In this session, participants will learn about stages of student learning development and skills that develop critical thinking. We’ll explore ways teachers can support and advance critical thinking in our students and begin to develop specific activities for your course. All 1st and 2nd year TAs are encouraged to join UCAT’s Starting Teaching Associate Resource (STAR) Group! This group, led by UCAT’s graduate consultants, gives 1st and 2nd year TAs the opportunity to… ** Network with other TAs from across OSU ** Seek help for specific teaching concerns ** Develop a plan to grow as TAs ** Access UCAT and other teaching resources ** Encourage and learn from each other ** Refreshments will be provided.
