The Centre for Teaching and Learning is offering a Teaching Scholars Credential Program to help provide new Teaching Assistants (TA) with the most effective teaching strategies.
The new program offers three certificates of completion — Foundations, Practical Experience and Professional Readiness — that help TAs refine their teaching practice and advance graduate students’ pedagogical, academic, and professional progress.
Two Foundations Certificate sessions, led by TA Program Coordinator John Parry, are being offered in the next week of August and first week of September. These sessions will review writing leaning outcomes, common instructional techniques and resources, learning evaluations and lesson plans.
To register or find out more about these sessions, visit the Teaching Scholars Credential Program website.
