PSTUM List,
We're about to do some assessment of our math TAs' training and support
needs--what kinds of experiences have they had teaching as TAs, how useful has our
department training and support for teaching been to them, what suggestions do they have
for the department in helping them fulfill their TA duties and obtain professional
development for future faculty positions, etc.
Have any of you conducted assessment of your TAs like this--perhaps through a print or
online survey or conducting focus groups? If so, I would be interested in hearing about
your experiences and what kinds of questions you asked.
Thanks in advance! Feel free to respond to the listserv in case there are others
interested in this kind of assessment.
Derek
