GTA Opportunity
Are you a Ph.D. student with knowledge of Classroom Assessment theory and practice? Do you have classroom experience? Would you like to add to your CV and earn some money? Speaking French is also a great bonus—though not a requirement. If some or all of these fit for you, there is a great opportunity for you to apply to become a GTA for EPSE 310 (Assessment and Learning in the Classroom).
This course is developed as a community of practice and is taught in a lecture/seminar format in January (5th -30th) and in a seminar format fromFebruary 16-March 20. GTAs chosen to teach the seminars will be given a lot of support in designing and delivering the content of each class (a standard syllabus will be used). You can apply to teach in one or both terms.
In the January term GTAs would come to observe the lecture and then instruct the Teacher Candidates (TCs) in the smaller seminar groups. Here you would lead hands-on activities, discussions and projects as well as help with, and grade, the TC assignments. Being a GTA in the January term would help prepare you for the February/March term where you would be the full instructor for the course (though the syllabus is common to all sections—so no worries about having to design this). In both terms, you will be mentored in your teaching giving you a challenging, fun, and successful experience that builds on your passion as a teacher. The jobs are posted now on the ECPS website:
