Teaching assistants are often faced with problematic situations which, if not promptly addressed, can destabilize the classroom environment and ruin both the students’ learning experience and the TAs’ teaching experience. In this interactive workshop, TAs will work together to come up with ideas and strategies to address a number of problematic case scenarios. They will learn useful tips on how to effectively respond to these challenges without getting disillusioned in the teaching process and without compromising their relationship with their students. Strategies to prevent these situations will also be discussed.
