In January 2012, the GATA Network will be holding two workshops for graduate and undergraduate teaching assistants. On Tuesday, January 10 at 9:30 AM, Jessie Beatty will facilitate “The First Day” to help get your new semester off to a great start. Whether this is your first time or fifth time as a teaching assistant, you will learn strategies to engage students in the classroom, studio, and lab.

Then on Tuesday January 16 at 1:45 PM, Sonia Sulaiman will lead “To Instruct and Delight: Storytelling for Higher Education.” Storytelling builds a community of learners and creatively engages people across disciplines. This interactive workshop will give you practice in techniques for using storytelling as an intentional teaching method.

There are no prerequisites for either workshop and registration is limited. To sign up please visit http://cleo.uwindsor.ca/workshops/ctl/52/
