The goal of this event will be to share updates and guidance from STS and SES to help best prepare you for your upcoming role as a TA. Also, Tara Walor, Assistant Dean of Student Services, will share Health & Safety updates relevant to the classroom experience. Finally, Sloan's Teaching Development Fellow, Jiaheng Yu, will join us to preview upcoming TA workshops and resources.
Welcome, and thank you for joining us as a TA this term! This site is your training and resource center. Everything that you need to know (and do!) for your TA-ship is outlined in the numbered steps below.
YOUR FIRST TASK is to complete "Set Up Your Employment" (see below). Once you've been approved to be a TA this term, you'll be granted access to Sloan systems. You're not legally allowed to work until this is complete.
The rest of the steps below can be completed in any order. We recommend that you RSVP for your preferred training sessions now, and plan to complete the self-paced work a few days before the start of the term. This will help you to put your best foot forward on the first day of classes.
Please bookmark this site so you can use it as a resource throughout the term. We'll post updates and additional resources here as they become available.
Please don't hesitate to contact us in Sloan Educational Services (SES) with any questions at all. Have a great term!
