The New Teaching Assistant Orientation (NTAO) introduces new teaching assistants (TAs) at the University of Pittsburgh to their roles and responsibilities as TAs and provides them with training in various skills to help them fulfill those roles.

The Spring 2024 NTAO training consists of a series of asynchronous sessions, administered as modules through the Canvas learning management system. These sessions include “Role of the TA,” “Getting Started in the Classroom,” “Dealing with Difficult Situations,” “Teaching Inclusively,” and “Preventing and Monitoring Cheating and Plagiarism.” The activities and assignments found within each module are designed to be completed by midnight on Friday, Jan. 19.

Departments and schools may find it beneficial to recommend or require new teaching assistants to attend the Teaching Center’s other trainings found in Workshops and Events.
