2023 Graduate TA Training
The Graduate School will host the Annual 2023 Teaching Assistant Training beginning in mid-August. This 5-part TA Training is held live, via Zoom (except for Breakfast on the Quad and the asynchronous Brightspace modules). Each year, we ask all TAs to participate in TA Training, even if you have participated in the past. We will meet the Deans and address important topics covered in previous workshops, as well as content based on new initiatives.
5-Part Training:
- Mental Health First Aid Training for Graduate TAs (via Zoom) – mid-August, multiple sessions – August MHFA Registration Closed. Register for MHFA Training this Fall HERE
- Self-Paced TA Training Brightspace Modules (via Brightspace) – early August
