SUMMARY:The Supportive TA: Building Trust Through Individual Student Interactions
DESCRIPTION:Whether in office hours\, lab discussions\, online chats\, or 
 informal hallway conversations\, TAs often serve as the first point of 
 contact for students seeking clarity\, feedback\, and support. This 
 workshop focuses on developing interpersonal communication skills that can 
 help teaching assistants build trust and rapport with their students in 
 one-on-one settings. Participants will explore practical strategies for 
 listening actively\, responding empathetically\, and maintaining 
 appropriate professional boundaries during these interactions. TAs will 
 leave with tools to make every conversation a moment that strengthens 
 student learning and trust. \n\nLearning Outcomes \nBy the end of this 
 workshop\, participants should be able to: \n\n\n	Identify strategies for
