The Teaching and Learning Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has been investigating how to strengthen TA training at the Institute. As part of that investigation, we conducted a survey in the spring semester of 2003 of the current TAs to which we received 375 responses. The survey asked the TAs about: (1) their previous teaching experiences; (2) what types of training, information, and/or support services had been available to them; (3) how effective or helpful that training, information, and/or support had been; and (4) what kind of training, information, and/or support services they would like to see available in the future. This poster session will report the results of that survey and outline the recommendations put forward as a result of the survey and other research.
