Teaching in a Multicultural Classroom – Oct 18

Being a Teaching Assistant (TA) can be an exciting experience that contributes to one’s personal development and professional growth as an educator. TAs may encounter challenges in teaching methods, marking and grading schemes, and teacher-student interactions. This workshop will demonstrate how Teaching Assistants can effectively support students from diverse ethnic, cultural, and linguistic backgrounds and discuss the strengths of a culturally and linguistically diverse classroom. We will also provide tips and problem-solving strategies that TAs can apply when faced with unfamiliar or challenging situations in and outside the classroom. This workshop will engage participants to explore and share their experiences with each other, thus far, and brainstorm additional strategies together.
