Graduate Teaching Assistance Professional Development (GTAPD)

The Graduate Teaching Assistant Professional Development Program (GTAPD) provides an opportunity for professional development in critical teaching skills for their Teaching Assistant responsibilities and broader career skills. Participants must attend all sessions to receive recognition of their participation via a “Certificate of Participation” that can be added to their student experience transcript.

These workshops will be offered in a Bootcamp version for those graduate students who wish to participate in this intensive format from Aug. 30th to Sept. 3rd 2021.

Sessions will also be offered in both Fall and Spring sessions, so participants may take all five workshops across both sessions. In other words, if you are unable to make all sessions in the fall, you can register for the ones you missed in the Spring session.

Here is the schedule for Fall 2021:

• September 15 = Building Community and Engagement
• September 29  = Teaching as a Professional Responsibility
• October 13  = Facilitating Learning
• October 27 = Feedback and Assessments
• November 17  = Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Classroom

Workshops run 3:00pm-4:30pm

Hosted by the Teaching Development Facilitator, Erin Reid (erin.reid@uleth.ca)
