June 17, 2024

Registration is now open for the 2024 Teaching@UW: Strategies for TAs resources! We encourage you to forward the text below our signature line to your graduate students. TAs can register for:
  • The Canvas site alone, or
  • Both the Live session on September 18 and the Canvas site
Please note that the Live session has limited capacity. Encourage your students to register early. Students will need a UW NetID to participate in the Live session and the Canvas site. The department is responsible for ensuring that students have a UW NetID or for creating a Provisioned NetID for students who do not yet have their individual UW NetIDs.
Students who won’t begin their assistantship until Winter or Spring quarters may benefit from engaging with the program at a later date. Please feel free to encourage Winter and Spring TAs to register for the Canvas site at any point before June 1, 2025.
