The Center for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching

CIDR is now a part of UW’s new Center for the Advancement of Learning and Teaching (CALT), a collaborative partnership of the Graduate School, University Libraries and Undergraduate Academic Affairs. We anticipate that the new Center will better serve UW instructors by promoting closer integration of activities in support of teaching and learning across campus. As always, CIDR staff welcomes all requests for consultations and other services.

CIDR’s New Website for Departments: Conducting Observations for Teaching Assistants who are Non-Native Speakers of English

-Wondering how to go about observing your international TAs teaching their classes?

-Need ideas about how to make the observation process as productive as possible?

-Concerned about how to support your TAs who are non-native speakers of English?

Graduate School Memo 14 mandates that all new TAs be observed in each of their first two quarters of teaching – and many departments have questions about how to do this. In response, CIDR staff have developed a website and accompanying materials for those individuals (faculty, staff, and/or lead TAs) who will be observing TAs – in particular those TAs who are non-native speakers of English. To visit the website:
