General Education

Inasmuch as teaching assistants contribute significantly to our General Education courses, including writing courses, we have funds available for TA Training. Training can take many forms. For example, the Writing Office has an ongoing program to train TAs from all disciplines in evaluating and coaching writing. There is a fee for participation, and the funding described herein may be used in part to cover this fee. Alternatively, your department or course may wish to create or expand its own training program. Our particular interest is that the training activity prepare TAs to serve as effective instructors, mentors, and graders to our GE and writing students. Proposals for GE core courses and those that include some matching funds from departments and colleges will be given priority. Applications must be submitted to Karen Pierotti (350-B MSRB) in the Office of General Education by the deadlines below to be considered for funding.
