Want to practice your teaching before the term starts? Looking for a way to get constructive feedback in an informal, low-stakes format? Want to see how others teach and share ideas? Then attend the UTA Microteaching Session! Microteaching offers students an opportunity to practice their teaching for a short period of time (~5 minutes) and receive targeted feedback from peers about their teaching and goals. This session is open to all UTAs, however it is preferred you attend the previous orientation (either this term or in previous terms) to implement what you have learned. Registration is required.
Not sure what to do on the first day of teaching? Are you interested in learning more about how to approach and work with students? Through interactive activities, this orientation will cover professionalism, creating inclusive learning environments, effective teaching strategies, and best practices for continual improvement as a UTA. All students are encouraged to attend the UTA Microteaching Session in the afternoon to practice what they have learned. Breakfast will be served from 9:30-10:00 and registration is required.
It is necessary for UTAs to discuss attendance to the orientation with instructors to inform them that departments will need to compensate their UTAs for two hours of training, at the hourly rate.
