Teaching Assistant Certificate in Teaching (TACT) - Winter 2027 Virtual Course

Throughout this course, you will have the opportunity to practice and experience different instructional strategies with peers from across the university.

By the end of the course, you will
- Connect and learn collaboratively with a community of individuals committed to professional development in teaching and learning
- Investigate the ways in which teaching strategies are used intentionally
- Express and practice different teaching and learning strategies to design and teach a 10-minute BOPPPS lesson giving and receiving feedback based on DEDIA and research evidence
