  Issues affecting collegiate teaching assistants.

  A group for exchange of information (and tools) to help
    Teaching Assistants.
  
    Discussions often pertain to issues such as:
  
    - culturally diverse classrooms
    - roles (Teacher, Teaching Assistant, Student)
    - learning styles
    - Teaching Assistant-student relations
    - Teaching Assistant-Supervisor/Professor relations
    - working conditions
    - lesson-planning
    - avoidance of harassment (as victim or offender)
    - language problems (i.e. International Teaching Asst language problems)
    - marking consistency
    - Teaching Assistant training resources
    - classroom/lab management
    - specific tools for a particular subject area
  
  It is anticipated that readers of the group would   be   Teaching
  assistants  and  Professors  who are interested in techniques for
  better teaching. Participation by beginners, experienced Teaching
    Assistants, and Professors will be encouraged.
