TA Training and Certificate of College Teaching
Expectations Document
Orientation Schedule
Most TAs will now be required to attend a training program and certification in college teaching as part of their TA appointment. The Provost, UTSA Deans, Department Chairs and Faculty Members believe that it is important for the University to:
- Support new graduate assistants in their critical teaching roles so that they, in turn, can insure the quality of the undergraduate educational experience
- Develop a learning-centered culture where teachers and students work together
- Do a competent job of preparing graduate students to join the academic community.
We believe that graduate students are self-directed learners who will conscientiously fulfill their professional obligations, seeking the best possible educational experiences.
