The UTA Orientation will be facilitated through Canvas and will be made available for students beginning one week before each term. It will consist of four modules that address the following:
- Reflecting on your teaching values
- Preparing to teach
- Teaching in different contexts
- Available resources
The core modules should take ~2-3 hours to work through. According to College Curriculum Guidelines, UTAs should be compensated by departments for time to complete required training. Registration is required to be enrolled in the Canvas site, which will be updated weekly.
UTAs interested in an academic course about many of these same topics, with a community of other UTAs, may be interested in the Problem-Solving Fellows Program, which involves enrollment in UNIV 1110: The Theory and Teaching of Problem Solving this Fall.
For questions about the UTA Orientation or the Problem-Solving Fellows Program, please contact Dr. Christina Smith.
