CTE's annual Graduate Teaching Assistant orientation introduces TAs to teaching at the University with a series of presentations, workshops, and panel discussions, as well as offering the opportunity for returning TAs to re-engage in pedagogical conversations and take part in specialized workshops. Participants will be given a copy of the 2008-2009 Graduate Teaching Assistant Resource Guide, as well as a number of other CTE and campus resources. TA orientation also begins to support communities of TAs by offering a pre-semester venue for discussion among colleagues.
