2 Hour Synchronous Training Sessions
These 2-hour webinars for first-appointment TAs introduce practical strategies for supporting student learning as a teaching assistant. While all sessions cover the same core teaching concepts, each disciplinary stream uses examples and activities tailored to different teaching contexts. Choose the session that best aligns with the courses you support, or register for the All Disciplines session if you prefer a mixed-disciplinary approach.
All departments may allow TAs to use this 2-hour session as part of their 4 hours of paid mandatory training (per the collective agreement between C.U.P.E. 3902 and the University of Toronto). If you have any questions, please contact us by email.
