Foreword
Teaching Assistants (TA), Lab Demonstrators, Course Coordinators, Marker-Graders, and Seminar Leaders play a pivotal role in the academic ecosystem, facilitating seminars and labs, providing feedback and fostering inclusive learning environments. It is essential to adapt teaching methodologies to ensure accessibility and engagement for all learners in classes, labs and online learning environments.
“Teaching matters,” Dr. Rajiv Jhangiani, Vice Provost of Teaching and Learning, says. We invite you to watch the video where Rajiv shares his inspiring perspective on cultivating essential elements of care and belonging in higher education.
As Rajiv mentions in the video, teaching is a skill! Just like any other skill, it takes practice, education, and care to enhance your teaching skills.
