Graduate Teaching Assistant Training
UNC Charlotte’s accreditation standards require that all Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) receive training prior to the start of their teaching contract. The Graduate School, through the Center for Graduate Life and Learning, offers this training online. Topics include: FERPA, avoiding discrimination, ADA compliance, common First Amendment issues, an introduction to the Office of Civil Rights and Title IX, tips for creating an effective syllabus, and more. New GTAs receive an invitation to complete the training and instructions for doing so. This training is in addition to any training your program may provide. If you do not receive an invitation to the Canvas course prior to beginning teaching, please contact the Center for Graduate Life and Learning at gradlifecenter@charlotte.edu.
