Graduate students who are new to the US higher education classroom environment may have unique questions or concerns about what to expect in their role as a Teaching Assistant. The goal of this session is for participants to develop a firm understanding of the skills needed to ensure greater success with serving as a TA in the US classroom.

Participants will learn what to expect in the US classroom culture as well as strategies for communicating as a TA with Emory students, specifically useful phrases for asking and answering questions, asking for clarification, and giving feedback. There will be opportunities to interact with experienced TAs who can share their perspectives and advice about their experience with this topic.

This session is designed specifically for TAs who are new to the US educational context.
