Graduate Teaching Associate information

What is a graduate teaching associate?

Graduate Teaching Associates (GTAs) are graduate students, often pursuing a master's or doctoral degree, who assist faculty with teaching responsibilities at colleges or universities. Their duties can include leading discussion sections, grading assignments, holding office hours, and sometimes teaching classes independently. GTAs gain valuable teaching experience while supporting the academic mission of their department. These positions often provide a stipend and tuition assistance as part of a graduate program.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a graduate teaching associate, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Graduate Teaching Associate, you need a solid academic background in your field, strong organizational skills, and experience or coursework in teaching or pedagogy. Familiarity with learning management systems (such as Canvas or Blackboard) and classroom technology is often required. Excellent communication, adaptability, and the ability to engage and motivate students are standout soft skills for this role. These skills and qualities are essential to effectively support faculty, facilitate student learning, and maintain a productive educational environment.

What are the typical responsibilities and expectations for a graduate teaching associate during a semester?

Graduate Teaching Associates (GTAs) often balance teaching duties with their own graduate studies. Typical responsibilities include leading discussion sections or labs, grading assignments and exams, holding office hours, and sometimes delivering lectures under the guidance of a faculty member. GTAs are also expected to communicate regularly with students and faculty, and contribute to curriculum development when appropriate. Clear time management and effective communication skills are essential for success in this collaborative, academically rigorous environment.

Job description

Overview
Standardized Patients instruct and assess health providers at multiple levels (undergraduate, post graduate, and practicing providers) in clinical and communication skills, physical examination techniques and procedural skills. SPs may also work with non-medical professionals to instruct and assess communication skills. In addition to teaching and assessment, SPs will provide detailed feedback on learner performance and perform various duties as assigned. All SP events and activities will be recorded for teaching and assessment purposes.
SPs who use their own bodies as the teaching model for sensitive exams are called "Genitourinary Teaching Associates," or GUTAs. A GUTA is an individual trained to teach the techniques and protocol for performing the gender-specific physical examination to learners. Female and male GUTAs are further defined as:
  • A Gynecological Teaching Associate (GTA) is a female specifically trained to teach, assess, and provide feedback to learners about accurate pelvic, rectal and/or breast examination techniques. They also address the communication skills needed to provide a comfortable exam in a standardized manner, while using their bodies as teaching tools in a supportive, non-threatening environment.
  • A Male Urogenital Teaching Associates (MUTA) is a male specifically trained to teach, assess, and provide feedback to learners about accurate urogenital and rectal examination techniques. They also address the communication skills needed to provide a comfortable exam in a standardized manner, while using their bodies as teaching tools in a supportive, non-threatening environment.

This is a transient position, working no more than 19 hours per week. Hours are not guaranteed.
