The objective of this project is to facilitate broad adoption of interactive and evidence-based teaching and learning strategies by harnessing the potential of teaching assistants (TAs). We will pursue this objective with several coordinated activities including a 2.5-day TA workshop; development of online and print materials; and development of a professional network of TAs and instructors.
When: Due to COVID-19, there will be no workshop in 2020.
Where: Georgia Institute of Technology / Atlanta / Georgia
Nominations Due: Not accepting nominations at this time.
Eligibility: Teams of one experienced "master" TA and one faculty member from Physics or Chemistry Departments are eligible to apply (see "Apply Now" tab above). Applications must include a letter of support from the Department Chairperson as described on the application page.
Expenses: Ground expenses (lodging, meals, local transportation) will be covered by the Cottrell Scholars Collaborative for both TA and Faculty participants.Departments must commit to cover all other expenses (i.e., travel).
