All graduate students who have no prior teaching experience at the college level must enroll before they are allowed to begin their assigned teaching responsibility.
The TA Handbook is provided for all graduate students with instructional responsibilities. It gives general information about teaching in the undergraduate classroom at the University of Georgia and a list of teaching resources.
These courses are designed specifically for international graduate students whose native language is not English and who wish to work as graduate teaching assistants. Use this link to determine if you are required to complete these courses.
Teaching Assistants are expected to adhere to all general rules outlined in the Handbook for Graduate Teaching Assistants (above) and the rules outlined in this link.
Teaching Assistant Support, coordinated by the Office of Instructional Support and Development, is dedicated to providing instructional support for the pedagogical development of graduate assistants in preparation for instructional responsibilities at the University of Georgia and future careers.
Evaluation of Teaching Performance
Teaching evaluations will be made by the TA's students at regular intervals set by each department/school. These evaluations will be maintained by the department/school. Non-performance will result in a formal review of the assistantship by the appropriate department head/school director, and the graduate coordinator, and the assistantship may be terminated.
