The University Honors College is seeking Honors Scholars in their Sophomore, Junior or Senior years to facilitate the Freshman Honors Colloquium (HON102) as teaching assistants.
This experience is designed for student teaching assistants who will facilitate one section of HON102: Freshmen Honors Colloquium in the spring semester. It serves as an introduction to some of the central ideas of HON102 and to the art of teaching. Areas of focus include lesson planning, examining teaching philosophies, managing class discussion and evaluating student work.
Once selected as a teaching assistant you will enroll in HON495 in the fall and work through one of ELN's Digital Badges.
The culmination of this project will be a narrated PowerPoint highlighting and reflecting upon work completed throughout the semester. This virtual PowerPoint presentation will also serve as your evidence of your project experience and accomplishment, which will be embedded in your digital badge.
