SUMMARY:TA Roundtable: Building Community Using Restorative Practices
DESCRIPTION:So\, you’ve become a teaching assistant (TA)… now what? Supporting an instructor\, program\, or department in planning\, instructing\, or assessing designated course curricula can be complicated. But you’re not alone! Come discuss your experiences as a TA with fellow students working through similar situations. All undergraduate TAs\, graduate TAs\, and graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) are welcome.\n \nThis session will focus on restorative practices as a TA. Teaching assistants often navigate potentially awkward or tense situations between students\, faculty\, and even themselves. Building community in and out of the classroom can create a strong foundation for future relationships. We’ll define restorative and transformative practices\, brainstorm how we are already implementing them in our practice\, and different skills we can learn together.\n \nHere is a chapter from the book\, Remote Teaching: a Guide for Teaching Assistants  you may find helpful for context and can serve as an opening for our discussion: https://ecampusontario.pressbooks.pub/teachingassistants/chapter/community/\n \n**This workshop counts toward the Graduate Teaching Program workshop credit.**\n\nFacilitated by Maddy Pimental\, CTL Graduate Assistant\n\nHave an idea for a future roundtable topic? Let us know!

SUMMARY:Facilitated Group Discussions: an engagement technique for promoting equity and connection
DESCRIPTION:This session will illustrate a variety of uses of a Facilitated Group Discussions (FGD) technique. FGD is a promising way to structure small group discussions to promote accountability\, full engagement\, and community among students in university classrooms. This technique can be used in lecture classes\, smaller seminars\, and doctoral level courses.  We will explore a method to structure the discussions and assess them (and students’ participation).  \nDr. Shana Haines\, CTL Faculty Associates and Associate Professor\, College of Education and Social Services\, will share examples from her courses that use this technique.

SUMMARY:TA Roundtable: Navigating Communication and Relationships with Students and Instructors
DESCRIPTION:So\, you’ve become a teaching assistant (TA)… now what? Supporting an instructor\, program\, or department in planning\, instructing\, or assessing designated course curricula can be complicated. But you’re not alone! Come discuss your experiences as a TA with fellow students working through similar situations. All undergraduate TAs\, graduate TAs\, and graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) are welcome. \nThis session will focus on TA relationships and communication with both students and instructors. Teaching assistants often serve as an intermediary figure in between students and faculty. Whether you are working alongside a faculty member or teaching your own course and reporting to your program director\, as a TA\, you have to navigate communication with both parties. \nHere is a chapter from the book\, Remote Teaching: a Guide for Teaching Assistants  you may find helpful for context and can serve as an opening for our discussion:      https://ecampusontario.pressbooks.pub/teachingassistants/chapter/communication/  \n**This workshop counts toward the Graduate Teaching Program workshop credit.** \nFacilitated by Michael Tobin\, WID Graduate Research Assistant \nHave an idea for a future roundtable topic? Let us know! \nPlease reserve this time on your calendar! You will receive a Microsoft Teams calendar invitation the afternoon prior to your event explaining how to join and participate in the meeting.  If you click “accept\,” it will populate on your Teams calendar for easy access!
