While this course is delivered in-person, candidates need to have a good understanding of how to use Canvas as portions of the course will be online (including assignment submission and grading). Preferred candidates will have completed EPSE 606, University and College Teaching. Experience teaching or counselling in K-12 schools is also preferred.

Successful candidates must also have the approval of their research supervisor (based on making satisfactory progress in the program).

Specific Course Information and Requirements

EPSE 308 in a lecture/seminar format where TAs must attend the lectures and then are responsible to run activities in smaller groups in their seminar sections.  In these seminars TAs are responsible for monitoring student progress, facilitating discussions, respond to student questions, grade assignments and help with student groups as needed.  The course runs in a standard format, so TAs must adhere to the standardized syllabus and course content.  They are responsible to make themselves familiar with the intent and content of the course, however they will be highly supported during the term. It is expected that all instructors will attend a number of planning sessions and mentoring meetings that will take place in the summer and throughout the fall term. All graduate students in masters or doctoral programs meeting the general qualifications are welcome to apply for these sections.
