Do you want your students to practice higher order thinking tasks such as analysis, synthesis, and evaluation? Active learning techniques can help them grow from passive listeners to problem solvers. We will explore a range of structures for class activities and discuss ways to use them in your specific context. STAR is a group for all first- and second-year TAs at Ohio State to socialize with, learn from, encourage, and grow alongside each other. At each of our monthly meetings, we provide snacks and offer some structured activities or discussions, often based on topics suggested by group members, to help you in your TA role. The group also provides an opportunity to casually chat with each other and ask teaching-related questions to your fellow TAs and to the graduate consultant facilitators. RSVP on this page as well as at the event webpage: http://ucat.osu.edu/events/get-active-building-an-active-learning-toolkit/ Following the event, email Erica Szeyller.1 to confirm your attendance.
