Teaching Assistantships

There are several TA ship opportunities for MAIH students who would act as Graduate Learning Coaches for incoming Freshman Academy students. Freshman Academy is a transition program for high school graduates whose academic record is not sufficient for university admission but who show potential and interest in moving into university level studies. The program of using graduate student coaches has been a great success. Check the link for a description of the program - http://www.twu.ca/extension/program/academy/

Applications consist of a current CV and letter of application sent to Bob Burkinshaw via email (Burkinsh@twu.ca). The letter should include statements regarding your interest in teaching at the university level, any related experience you may have had and evidence that you would be able to cope with the 12 hours a week work load on top of your course work. These positions are open to students taking a minimum of 6 semester hours per semester with priority given to full time students (9 semester hours).

Positions will begin Sept. 1, 2012.
