The curriculum addresses language, appropriate pedagogy, and the culture of the North American university classroom through interactive lectures, workshops with campus departments, micro-teaching presentations, and panel discussions with students and experienced TAs. The program is taught by dynamic, experienced faculty who are experts in the field of ITA preparation.
More information about the program will be sent directly to those receiving teaching assistantships.
