2026 TA Foundations
The CTLT Teaching Assistant (TA) Foundations offers a week of professional development workshops designed to support TAs as their roles evolve. Sessions are open to graduate students and undergraduate TAs.
As a TA, you have a crucial role in helping students to start practicing and understanding your discipline, and seeing themselves as welcome there. In the TA Foundations, we will help you explore the fundamentals of TAing: how to intentionally make a difference through work you will actually be asked to do – marking, labs, and tutorials – and how to begin addressing classroom climate and inclusivity. Whether you are a new or returning TA, these fundamental skills provide core training for your ability to provide genuine and meaningful support for your students, and build a strong foundation for your teaching through your TA experiences.
Please note: Each workshop is offered in both online and in-person formats. The content, learning objectives, and workshop experience are identical in both formats. Please select either the online or in-person version when registering; there is no need to attend both, as they cover the same material.
The TA Institute is open to undergraduate and graduate TAs, as well as graduate students interested in teaching. It is not open to UBC staff or faculty.
