This course provides students with the tools necessary to excel as a subject tutor. Students will develop an understanding of inclusion and its necessity in the instructional process as we seek to value and engage one another in a way that recognizes and celebrates our diversity. The assignments are selected to help reflect on crucial issues and apply understanding of the course content in real and tangible ways. The primary modes of instruction include class discussion and reflective writing. Students who have applied for and been accepted as a STEM Guide, department tutor, or other student assistant in instruction will meet every other week to learn and reflect on best practices in peer instruction. Topics addressed include: the peer tutoring model, effective tutoring strategies, working with groups, problem-solving, cultural competence (working with international students, first-generation students, and others), implicit bias, and effective communication.
