Every year the Center for Teaching and Learning asks experienced TAs to apply to help train new TAs. The Center needs students in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities to lead new TAs in workshops such as:

• Grading in the Humanities and Qualitative Social Sciences
• Grading in the Quantitative Social & Natural Sciences
• Leading Discussions in the Humanities
• Leading Discussions in Quantitative Social & Natural Sciences
• Teaching Problem Solving Recitations
• Being an Effective Lab TA

Trainers will prepare to train other TAs by participating in several day-long workshops. Applicants should expect to be available for two days in May and must be available during the entire week of August 27-August 31. They will receive a $1,400 stipend.
