2007 TA Conference on Teaching and Learning |
Information for Departments
The Center for Instructional Development and Research (CIDR) and the Graduate School are seeking applications for TA Facilitators for the Annual Conference on Teaching and Learning, which will be held September 17-19, 2007
Conference InformationThe University of Washington will offer its annual conference for TAs who are either new to teaching roles at this university or who are undertaking different teaching responsibilities than they previously held. The TA Conference on Teaching and Learning is organized by CIDR, an office on campus that provides information, consultation, and programs to help faculty and TAs excel in teaching and experience the satisfaction that results from teaching well. Conference workshops will be offered on a variety of topics related to teaching and learning at UW, and will be facilitated by experienced TAs, faculty, and staff from across campus. Workshops are designed to create awareness about college teaching, provide some techniques and strategies for effective teaching, reduce some of the anxiety that new TAs often feel when beginning to teach, and suggest resources for further information. TAs attending the Conference will be able to sign up for one or many workshops that will help them prepare for their specific teaching assignments. These workshops will take place in small groups of 25-30 and will be facilitated by an experienced TA and/or faculty and staff from across the campus.
Department Workshop RecommendationsMany departments are recommending specific workshops at the TA Conference for their TAs to attend. Recommendations are also posted at To have your department's recommendations listed on the TA Conference web site, contact us at TAConference@cidr.washington.edu.
