Good Morning Brenda,
 
I would be interested in seeing your agenda and case studies. It would be extremely helpful as we improve our biology TA training.

Dear  Beth,

Last Friday morning, I arranged and co-facilitated a Teaching Workshop for Biology TAs for all intro biology TAs in my department.  The other co-facilitator was from the UI Center for Teaching.  We put together a 3 hr workshop in which we considered a variety of topics and had a number of "case studies" for TAs to discuss.  If it would be helpful, I can make our workshop agenda and case studies available as PDF file.

Greetings, again!

 

I sent my last message at the very end of the school year, and thought I would follow it up with one more e-mail at the beginning so I could catch everyone coming and going (so to speak).

 

I am attaching again the preliminary results of the on-line survey of those working to develop the teaching abilities of biology graduate students (same as I sent last year).  

 

At the end of the summary, we created a list of resources we think should be shared among institutions to help each other deliver the best GTA PD possible (e.g. teaching feedback protocols, peer mentoring program procedures, course syllabi, etc.), and we offered to use the BioTAP website to help share these ideas.  

 

I am about to start the process of posting information on the web site (http://www.bio.utk.edu/biotap/), so if you have items to share, please send them directly to me ([log in to unmask]), or you can reply to all and share with everyone on the list (there are 115 folks on the listserv!).

 

We are also planning for the submission of a full NSF research coordination grant in June, so if anyone has input or ideas for the types of activities we should include (it's for five years of networking and aligning practices across institutions), please let us know!

 

Hope everyone's year is off to a good start!

 

Beth
