Honors Teaching Experience in Leadership Jumpstart

Catalog description

Guided instruction and practical experience for teaching assistants to the Honors Leadership Jumpstart course (EDTHP 234H). EDTHP 434H Honors Teaching Experience in Leadership Jumpstart (1) This course trains and supports the teaching assistants (TAs) who work with the first-year students in the Leadership Jumpstart course (EDTHP 234H). The TAs help guide the first-year students through their course by assisting in the design, implementation, and evaluation of the course and the student projects, providing feedback for what worked and what did not work, and providing important perspective from when they were first-year students. The TAs are expected to be a role model, assist in the instruction of the course, assist in the functional elements of the course, be a confidant/mentor to new students, and occasionally serve as an evaluator of students' work. The TAs' grades will be based on attendance at all class sessions and interactive assistance and leadership during the EDTHP 234H course and on the TA's reflections on the course, its effectiveness to achieve the objectives, and possible improvements.
