Spring 2019 PIE Teaching Training Workshop/TA Orientation: Registration is now open!
This message has been approved by Dr. Mark Riley, Dean of the Graduate School, for distribution to faculty and staff.
The annual Spring PIE Teaching Training Workshop/TA Orientation is held the Friday of the first week of classes each spring. This workshop includes sessions that provide graduate students with teaching policy training requirements as stated in the University-wide TA Standards along with best practices in grading, communicating with students, and Canvas and technology usage. This TA training is delivered partly face-to-face and partly online via Canvas, the centrally supported course management system at FSU.
This abridged Spring TA training workshop is primarily offered to meet the needs of graduate students and postdocs who will be newly serving as a TA or instructor in the Spring or Summer of 2019, and others who were unable to attend the annual Fall PIE conference because of extenuating circumstances that have been documented by the graduate student's academic department (or the department that is appointing the student as a TA).
The face-to-face portion of the Spring 2019 PIE Teaching Training Workshop/TA Orientation will be held Friday, January 11th, 2019, 1:00pm-5:00pm in The Great Hall on the 4th floor of the Honors, Scholars and Fellows House. Participants should click here to register to attend this face-to-face session!
Please Note: Participants MUST also complete the ONLINE “University-wide Teaching Policy Training” modules on the PIE Canvas website prior to this face-to-face Workshop/Orientation if they are required to complete the University-wide TA policy trainings in FERPA, FSU Academic Honor Policy, Sexual Harassment and Discrimination, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Any questions regarding what requirements a student/TA needs to fulfill should be directed to their academic department. Academic departments may consult the University-wide TA Standards.
**Students should email us at pie-info@fsu.edu to request to be enrolled in these online trainings.
Feel free to distribute this information to your students, and direct any questions to Dr. Lisa Liseno, Director of the Program for Instructional Excellence at pie-info@fsu.edu.
