Towards better mathematics teaching assistant preparation in graduate programs
Page: 1063
This work focuses on the preparation of graduate Teaching Assistant in the mathematics department of a large midwestern R1 university. We explore the author’s experience with three different versions of the course in three varying capacities: as a student, a mathematics education researcher and a co-facilitator. As we delve into the author’s reflections on the evolution of the teaching preparation within this timeframe, we highlight some issues with the course structure and execution. This leads to the development of another, more realistic version of the preparation course.
