Carol Van Zile-Tamsen (EDT) College Teaching Assistant (TA) Handbook

Annotation

This handbook is the perfect introductory volume for new graduate teaching assistants (TAs). It provides practical strategies for all aspects of teaching in higher education, from course design and delivery to delivering a course designed by someone else. Topics include grading and assessment; active learning strategies; teaching large lectures, as well as lab sections and recitations; balancing teaching obligations with personal schoolwork; and preparing to enter academia as a teaching faculty member. Nearly all chapters include additional resources and/or materials available in the TA Teaching Toolbox, which is an online resource that accompanies this book.
