Graduate Teaching Assistant Training

In partnership with the RIT Graduate School, the Center for Teaching and Learning manages the online Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) Foundations course each semester of the academic year.

GTA Foundations is a short, self-paced fully online course delivered in myCourses. The online course provides GTAs with basic information about teaching effectively, working with students, basic requirements of the GTA role, and links to additional resources.

All GTAs are enrolled in GTA Foundations as part of the hiring process. All GTAs must take or retake GTA Foundations each year they are employed in the role.
