This announcement is sent on behalf of the Cottrell Scholars Collaborative Graduate TA Workshop team. The objective of this project is to facilitate broad adoption of interactive and evidence-based teaching and learning strategies by harnessing the potential of teaching assistants (TAs). We will pursue this objective with several coordinated activities including a 2.5-day TA workshop; development of online and print materials; and development of a professional network of TAs and instructors.
The workshop will take place from Weds. May 29 – Friday May 31, 2019 on the campus of Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, GA. Teams of an experienced, master or head TA and one faculty member from physics or chemistry departments are eligible to apply. Applications must include a letter of support from your department chair committing partial support. Past participants include: University of Michigan, Michigan State, University of Central Florida, UW Madison, Vanderbilt and Emory, to name a few.
