log in Signature Course Support: Observation
About one month into the semester, UT Learning Center staff will make arrangements with teaching assistants to observe a discussion section of their choice (and the accompanying large lecture.) TA's should feel free to discuss any issues regarding the course, the students or their own teaching style beforehand with the staff member who will also share the observation form designed for these courses. Afterwards, the staff member and TA will have a confidential, individual debrief on the session. Emphasis will be on the TA's strengths and a few easy to implement strategies that can improve teaching effectiveness.
And of course, UTLC staff are available at any time during the semester to consult with TA's individually on classroom issues, student learning concerns, or for a follow-up observation.
