Equity-Minded Teaching for TAs (CTE2272)

​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).
