PIE TA Community Online Teaching Support Canvas Site & Virtual Open House Hours
The PIE Program has launched a Canvas organizational site that serves to provide teaching assistants (TAs) and instructional staff from across campus the opportunity to find peer community and support. Resources include virtual peer “Open House” hours where visitors can connect via Zoom to PIE Teaching Associate TAs from a variety of different disciplines to discuss challenges, brainstorm ideas, share tips, and receive referrals to additional resources to assist in the online teaching transition. Video tutorials, discipline specific teaching tips, and links to a variety of resources available at FSU and beyond, are also located on this site. Anyone can self-enroll in this Canvas site via this URL: https://canvas.fsu.edu/enroll/JB4D8K
Peer Teaching Observations
The PIE Program is now offering Peer Teaching Observations. If you would like constructive feedback from other teaching assistants on methods to use in the classroom, please reach out to us. Peer observations are a fantastic way to:
- Receive constructive feedback from experienced TAs
- Discuss your teaching strengths and areas for improvement in a low-stakes setting
- Add professional development experience to your CV
