Developing the skills of an effective instructor is beneficial both for current GTAs
and those who aspire to become faculty.
Making You a Better Instructor
Learn the learning modes and instructional strategies that will support your instruction.
Learn and apply the fundamental concepts of teaching, learning and instruction that
are required to not only develop relevant content, but also effectively and efficiently
communicate information, concepts and understanding to your students.
Understanding the different ways students learn and instructional strategies is vital
for all aspiring teachers and instructors. The GTA Conference on Teaching provides
a foundation of your understanding of learning modalities and effective instruction
techniques, then serve as a GTA or complete the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
course, and your instruction competency journey culminates in developing your Teaching
Portfolio.
