The September 6th to September 7th session of the Teaching Assistant Training Program (TATP) is a hands-on, twenty hour blended program that combines asynchronous online work with in-person campus sessions designed for new TAs embarking on their teaching careers. Learn about inclusive grading, classroom diversity and intercultural communication, effective lesson design, and helpful and equitable feedback practices. Get real-time, hands-on teaching experience in our unique microteaching sessions where you can try out your teaching skills with a small group of your peers and receive helpful, constructive feedback. At the end of the session, you will receive a certificate of completion as evidence of your commitment to developing your knowledge and skill as an educator.
