Thank you for accepting a teaching assistant position at UNBC. Your role is vital to supporting our students learning in your labs, classes and tutorials. You are often the first point of contact for students and shape their experiences at UNBC.  You also consolidate your knowledge as you explain concepts, grade answers, and share your own learning experience.  We value your input and thus provide training, support and ongoing professional development opportunities for you.

Any of the workshops hosted by CTLT or recorded sessions are available to you. The CTLT website has all these resources for you. Please contact the CTLT if there is anything we can help you with regarding teaching and teaching tools at ctlt@unbc.ca.

Wishing you all the best in your studies and teaching role at UNBC!
