Facilitating engaging and impactful discussions (IN PERSON)
Successfully learning to lead and guide engaging and impactful student discussions requires a range of fairly sophisticated communication skills. Typically people employ strategies using trial and error as they have never been trained to facilitate discussions. This workshop will give participants an opportunity develop practical insights, skills and learn tools that lead to facilitating group discussions. Leadership, presentation and communication skills are threaded through this interactive session; learn how to be the guide on the side and not so much the sage on the stage!
NOTE:Only first-time TAs will be paid for participating in this training session and are eligible for a maximum of 3 hours of paid training.
IMPORTANT: Students must register with their official McGill email address in order for the registration to be valid.
