We will cover foundational topics in teaching and learning by focusing on core concepts (i.e., lesson planning; fostering vibrant and open discussions that help students connect with one another; active learning; grading; and giving and requesting feedback). Pedagogy in Practice also will share with you techniques to encourage and manage respectful and productive discussions of challenging or divisive topics. Although designed for TFs/TAs new to teaching in the FAS, experienced instructors are welcome to attend if space allows.&nbsp;</span><br><strong>Register:</strong><span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://bokcenter.harvard.edu/tf-ta-training-registration"><span>Learn More and Register</span></a></p><p dir="ltr"><strong>Fall Teaching Week Electives</strong><br><em>Additional workshops for TFs and TAs of all experience levels</em></p><p dir="ltr"><span>In addition to Pedagogy in Practice, Fall Teaching Week features a wide range of elective workshops.
