Explore how to use feedback as an effective teaching strategy at the Giving & Receiving Feedback (CTE1106) workshop.

Fundamentals Microteaching Sessions provide participants the opportunity to practice delivering a 10-minute lesson and receive constructive feedback in a supportive, low-risk environment. This session is held online in Zoom.

We are delighted to have two of our CTE co-op students, Charley Potter and Eleanor Walby, join us on Thursday November 7th to share their experience completing their reflective journals assisted by RIFF,  a GenAI tool developed a team at Stanford University’s d.school.  Charley and Eleanor will be joined by Leticia Britos Cavagnaro (RIFF founder) to demonstrate RIFF and explain how it supports reflection. 

Each term, CTE co-op students use a PebblePad workbook and ePortfolio to reflect on their learning and track and showcase their growth and development during their co-op term.  Beginning in Spring 2024, the co-op students have been testing the use of RIFF.  RIFF is designed to help deepen the quality and depth of reflections. “While chatbots powered by generative AI are typically designed to answer questions and perform tasks, Riff focuses on asking learners thought-provoking questions to deepen their reflection process”.

​In this interactive workshop, we will use case studies to discuss and apply foundational concepts and ideas related to equity, diversity, and inclusion to analyze classroom situations that you may encounter as a TA. Prior to the in-person workshop, you are asked to review the “Introduction to Equity” recorded lecture (1 hour) on UW’s Anti-Racism Education Road Map and complete a brief quiz. During the in-person workshop, you will have an opportunity to work in small groups to discuss with your peers  inclusive and equity-minded teaching in your disciplinary and teaching contexts and learn teaching strategies that support equity and inclusivity within and beyond the classroom context (e.g., tutorials, office hours, online communication).
