Introduction
Interested in enhancing your own GTA program? Want to find out what others at Ohio State are doing to help their GTAs develop as teachers? Start here.
Past recipients of GTA Enhancement Seed Grants worked throughout the academic year to create, expand, or significantly enhance their local GTA programming,with special emphasis placed on efforts that provide access to phased, ongoing support throughout their appointments. They have created a wide variety of programs that uniquely meet the diverse needs of their GTA populations.
Recipients have been asked to share the details of their programs, including how they spent either the grant, how they assessed the success of the program, and lessons learned from the experience. Please feel free to browse some of the final reports submitted from past academic years.
Contact Stephanie Rohdieck, Instructional Consultant for GTA Programs, for more information about GTA training initiatives at Ohio State. If, after reading the final reports, you have any questions regarding potential training ideas, please do not hesitate to contact us. We can also arrange for past recipients to talk with you about their programs.
