Required Training for First-Time TA/CA/IAs
In order to make sure that you are prepared for all the different aspects of this position, we have created a series of trainings for you in conjunction with the Graduate Student Workers Union. We hope that you will find them helpful as you move forward on your teaching journey.
Please note that the first three trainings listed below are for all TAs, CAs, and IAs, even though the Workday titles only list "TA/CA." The fourth training is only for TAs and CAs who have not previously received a degree from a US college or university. International Business School IAs do NOT have to complete the International Pedagogy training. (The parenthetical acronym after each name is how they are commonly referenced.)
Teaching Assistants (TAs), Course Assistants (CAs), and Instructional Assistants (IAs) are required to complete several hours of training.
- TA/CA/IA Required Training: Supporting Students Outside of Academics (SSOA)
- TA/CA/IA Required Training: Pedagogy (CTL)
- TA/CA/IA Required Training: Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Violence & Accessibility at Brandeis (OEO)
- International TA/CA Required Training: Pedagogy (ELP)
Please contact the Office of Graduate Affairs for further information about requirements.
