TA Conference
Overview
For over three decades, the UCLA Office of Instructional
Development TA Training Program has put on a campuswide Teaching Assistant
Conference near the beginning of the Fall quarter as a means to help both
new and experienced teaching assistants and other graduate students improve
their teaching skills. Conference participants receive this assistance
primarily through a selection of conference workshops that examine a variety
of different aspects of teaching undergraduate students. These workshops are
led by experienced UCLA TAs who are enthusiastic about sharing their
insights. Topics such as evaluating students, meeting your class for the
first time, motivating students, and conducting office hours will be
addressed by workshop leaders. In recent years we have added a subset of
workshops that help TAs make appropriate use of new technology in their
teaching.
