For Departments
We are happy to collaborate with departments and instructors to support TAs!
For help developing a department or course level TA training, to have a member of the L&S TA Training & Support team attend your TA training, and for any questions related to TAs, please contact Lynne Prost.

For Instructors Working with TAs
Web Resource for Working with TAs
Our team has developed a comprehensive Resource for Instructors Working with TAs, which emphasizes best practices, key considerations, and practical resources for working effectively and efficiently with TAs.
Digital Accessibility for TAs Toolkit
Our team has created a Toolkit for departments and instructors to help their TAs understand digital accessibility in department-level TA trainings and/or individual course TA meetings.
The Toolkit includes materials in a variety of formats. All materials cover a few key takeaways about accessibility for TAs that are consistent with the messages we present at TA Training. The materials are also fully editable so they can be adjusted to fit your context and your TAs’ needs.
