Hi,
I wanted to share with you a web site that TJ Murphy (at the
University of Oklahoma) has begun to put together):
http://www.math.ou.edu/~tjmurphy/CMIPAD/CMIPAD.html
On that site she is gathering information about resources for the
preparation of college mathematics instructors (GTAs, new faculty,
etc). Right now, though there are spaces for more, the most information
is available under the "articles" "books" and "websites"
links.

Thanks, Shandy. This website wants a new home (complete with better
URL) and a new primary care-taker. Any volunteers? tjm

If no one else aggressively wants it, I will host it at
betterfilecabinet.com and turn it into a wiki (editable web site) so
maybe we can all add and edit the resources collectively.
Okay?
best, Eric

That's a great idea. I was thinking of creating a web site along these
lines to supplement this listserv, and it's good to know someone has already
done so! I like the idea of a wiki, too, to facilitate contributions.
In a related matter, there was some discussion at one of the sessions on
training TAs at the last Joint Meetings on paperwork useful for mentoring
TAs, particular forms used when the mentor observes the TA and templates for
reports generated by such observations. We do a lot of these kinds of
observations, and it would be great to see what kind of guidelines or forms
other TA mentors use.

New subject: New (Location of) TA Preparation Resource
Hi all,
I have taken TJ Murphy's list of links and papers and am now hosting
it in wiki format at
http://betterfilecabinet.com/cgi-bin/ta/index.cgi
I am leaving it all publicly editable (but will intervene if people
start vandalizing it). The site has a basic search engine too.
This means that you all have the authorization and encouragement to
update this site yourselves. If you want to change a page, just hit
the EDIT button... you don't need to know HTML. Just type in plain
text into the box. You can mark text with special symbols to format
it specially. The main ones I use are *bold*, /italic/, and
* list
* of
* items (note the space between * and the item)
You can look in the Help page or at the existing pages to see other
formatting options. Or you can type in plain text and let me format
it later. If you don't want to edit the page, send me the changes
and I'll post them for you.
best wishes, Eric
ps. For those who care, there is an RSS feed on the site which you
can auto-discover or just use

New subject: New (Location of) TA Preparation Resource
Dear all,
I took a quick look at the various lists of resources identified and
was struck that they all seem to be college-specific.
Although I've done some TA training (with the Emerging Scholars
Program, many years ago), I've mostly worked in secondary math
teacher preparation/professional development. My experience is that
secondary math teacher educators draw on materials from other levels,
and even other disciplines, when they seem useful (although probably
more from elementary math ed than college math ed, perhaps because
more has been developed at the elementary level).
I recognize that there are differences in teaching at the different
levels and that TA'ing is different than teaching one's own course,
but I'm wondering how people feel about the addition of materials
from other levels (and, assuming they're welcome, what kind of
annotation people think would be needed re: their use).
Sincerely,
Dara Sandow
