| As a Graduate Teaching Assistant, you play a very valuable role in the educational experience of FAU’s undergraduates. Few of you, however, received any formal training in teaching. Much of what you know probably derives from your experiences with effective instructors in high school and college. There is no magic formula for becoming a great teacher and mentor, but there are important tips and suggestions that have proved useful to others in the same position. Also, teaching assistants who only recently moved to this country should be aware of important differences in the culture of instruction and how teaching strategies need to be adjusted accordingly. Refer to the links below, as well as to other links at this site, for helpful guidance.
