TA Training Series - Bridging the Gap: Tools for TAs, GIs, and Postdocs for Teaching Science Clearly and Accessibly

As a TA, one of your most important roles is helping students grasp complex scientific ideas—without oversimplifying. This workshop offers practical tools for making science more accessible, memorable, and engaging. We’ll explore strategies for defining technical terms clearly, explaining processes step by step, using metaphors and analogies effectively, and incorporating visual or multimodal elements to enhance understanding. Whether you're leading a discussion, grading labs, or answering student questions, this session will help you communicate science with clarity and confidence.

Attendees will receive a certificate of completion for professional development purposes.
