2020 WORKSHOP DATES:

Wednesday, August 26, and Thursday, August 27.  The TA Workshop is online this year.

For more information, please contact:
Dr. Jerry Paris, paris@njit.edu or Dr. Victoria Livingstone, victoria.j.livingstone@njit.edu

Your position as a TA may include being an instructor in a course, a laboratory or recitation section leader, a tutor, or a grader. This workshop is intended to help international teaching assistants succeed in carrying out the responsibilities associated with their award. In addition to TAs, entering RAs are included in this program since they also require a high level of English communication skills.

All international students entering NJIT with a TA or RA,  as well as all international TAs who started as a TA at NJIT in Spring 20, are required to participate in the 2-day NJIT online Teaching and Communication Skills Workshop.

The TA Workshop this year will be online.  It will take place on Wednesday, August 26, and Thursday, August 27.  In addition to the workshop, there will be a required short individual online assessment of spoken English for each TA and RA.  Additional details on the workshop and assessment will be available shortly.
