2019 ITA PROFESSIONALS SYMPOSIUM

2019 ITA Professionals Symposium:
Aligning ITA Program Goals with Needs of ITAs and Faculty
Friday, February 22, 2019

Please join us on Friday, February 22, 2019, for the 5^th annual International Teaching Assistant (ITA) Professionals Symposium hosted by the Intercultural Communication Center at Carnegie Mellon University.

The ITA Professionals Symposium brings together various ITA support specialists (ESL specialists, faculty ITA coordinators, teaching support specialists, and ITA researchers) to share their experiences, best practices, and research findings in support of international teaching assistants. This is a great opportunity to network with colleagues, learn about new resources and other ITA programs, and discuss evidence-based practices and research supporting international teaching assistants.
