I am a TA—How can I support students from underrepresented communities in my class?

THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE PRESENTS:

I am a TA—How can I support students from underrepresented communities in my class?

Dr. Jaime Nolan, Associate Vice President for Community, Equity, and Inclusive Excellence

This –VIRTUAL– event is free for graduate and undergraduate students, as well as for faculty

In this session you will learn about resources available to students from underrepresented communities  and how these resources can be accessed.  We will also explore what it means to support students through a framework of affirmation that builds upon the resilience, resources, and knowledge students already have within them, rather than through what historically has been a deficit model of remediation.

This event is part of the Symposium to Support Graduate Students as Teachers. See the full schedule below:
