Engaging STEM Graduate Teaching Assistants In Evidence-Based Practice

Abstract

Location: Dewberry Hall Graduate teaching assistants are often placed in our undergraduate classrooms and laboratories with minimal preparation or support. As part of a Curriculum Impact Grant, we have piloted a series of workshops to help STEM GTAs build a teaching community and develop their understanding of evidence-based teaching practice. This poster will outline our program goals and program design. We seek feedback from faculty from across campus interested in preparing graduate students for GTA roles and providing ongoing teaching development support for GTAs as the engage with our students.
