'How should I prepare to teach a new topic?' 'How do I balance my time between teaching, research, and my own classes?' 'What if the students don’t respect me?' New TAs--typically young graduate students--need answers to these and many other questions as they step into their roles as teachers. The Teaching Assistant’s Guide offers advice to help first classes go smoothly, worksheets to help advance preparation, a teaching diary to record experiences and save time, guidance for maintaining boundaries, proven strategies to increase student participation, tips to make grading fast and fair, and steps to make a class inclusive and welcoming. Bringing together practical advice from experienced TAs and insights from education research, this handbook will help all new teachers get off to a great start. 'TAing your first class as a graduate student can feel nerve-racking and overwhelming. It’s hard to know what to expect. The Teaching Assistant’s Guide is a terrific step by step guidebook to help set you up for success. I wish I had this resource when I was starting out!' --Shannon Odell, Neuroscientist and Science Communicator 'The Teaching Assistant’s Guide fills a gaping hole in the teaching literature. Himelblau creates a terrific road map for TAs with a mixture of cartoons, quotes from experienced TAs, and his own unique voice. This book is for anyone hoping to improve the classroom experience for TAs and their students.' --Jo Handelsman, Director of the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery and author of Scientific Teaching and A World Without Soil
