TA Training Workshops
The Teaching Center provides Teaching Assistant (TA) Training workshops for departments, typically scheduled in conjunction with the department’s own training for new TAs. Teaching Center TA Training workshops introduce new TAs to common teaching strategies and to methods that are appropriate for teaching in their fields. These workshops are usually held in August, but can be scheduled throughout the year.
