All sessions will be held via Zoom.
Welcome to starting your teaching journey.
We are excited to partner with and support you throughout this exciting and enriching journey. At UC San Diego, Teaching Assistants, Instructional Apprentices, Tutors, and Readers are all Instructional Assistants (IAs). Being an IA is crucial to both the undergraduate student experience and graduate student professional development. At this symposium, we aim for you to:
Get the support you need via synchronous and asynchronous resources for new IAs at UC San Diego.
Explore strategies for your role as an IA, including how to grade fairly and efficiently, support students in office hours, and run engaging and inclusive discussion sections and labs. Customize your support by quickly finding and utilizing those resources that are most relevant to your position.
Prepare and practice your skills by applying promising teaching strategies to preparing useful materials for your IA role and in real-life applications during foundational workshops.
