The Graduate Student Development Program of the Faculty Innovation Center is facilitating a selective program that connects senior undergraduate teaching ambassadors (UTAs) with International Teaching Assistants (ITAs) in order for ITAs to gain insight into the experience of being a UT undergraduate student.
ITAs will meet with UTAs at least four times (two one-on-one meetings, and two in group settings) throughout the spring semester to gain first-hand exposure to facets of undergraduate life such as undergraduate advising, residence hall life, and extracurricular activities. In addition, ITAs will receive feedback on two practice teaching sessions from undergraduate students and pedagogy experts.
How will I benefit?
Participants in this program will:
· receive nuanced, first-hand knowledge about the experiences of undergraduates at UT
· receive feedback on their teaching from undergraduates and pedagogy experts
· gain confidence as instructors
Once participants have been selected for the program, GSD will provide a menu of group meetings with various topics and times/locations that participants can choose from. In addition, UTAs will contact participants to set up individual meeting times.
How can I apply?
Complete the following application by Wednesday, January 24th at noon. You will be informed of acceptance as soon as possible.
