Teaching Assistants' Training Program

Lia Frederiksen, TATP Social Sciences Trainer

The teaching dossier is a comprehensive record of teaching activities and accomplishments that is now required in applications for permanent positions at the University of Toronto and at an increasing number of institutions across North America. In this session, we will review the elements of a successful teaching dossier and discuss how to use it as a framework for setting goals for future professional development. Since many TAs have limited teaching experience, what a new TA can do to develop the beginnings of a meaningful dossier will also be highlighted.
