Abstract
This poster details the steps taken by a less-commonly-taught language program to transform a campus-wide graduate student instructor workshop into an interactive, discipline-specific session. Such restructuring prepares graduate instructors to attend to undergraduates’ academic, social, and cognitive needs. The poster will also share measures of the revised workshop’s success: (1) instructors’ increased sensitivity to student needs, (2) improved performance of learners with special needs, and (3) positive testimonies from our workshop-provider and graduate instructor supervisors.
