Teaching Preparation in Education

Teaching assistants (TA) are supported while becoming more effective and reflective teachers. Focus on how to create student-centered, inclusive learning experiences. Study of theory (relationship between teaching and learning), research (what we know about how people learn), and logistics (how this actually happens for students). Students gain understanding of serving as TA in education (e.g., departmental policies, responsibilities to students, how/where to get additional support, etc.). Students have opportunities to apply (in their own sections) what they learn, to reflect collaboratively on their ongoing TA experiences, and to learn from experienced TAs.
