Approachable & Professional: Establishing Your Relationship with Your Students

Approaching teaching as a working collaboration with students allows for instructors to develop clear incentives and goals, encouraging students to feel like they are part of the course narrative and progression. This workshop will help instructors reflect on tools for building these working relationships with students both in the classroom and out. Topics will include in-class and office-hour interpersonal strategies, giving direction and guidance, and developing positive rapport in order to identify students’ challenges and work habits.

Counts toward the CTL Teaching Certificate. Also counts as a follow-up workshop for SAS participants in TA Training.
