Graduate students with a teaching role are welcome to sign up for workshops marked as “open to any GW instructor.” Our upcoming workshops are listed on the LAI Events page.

Additionally, the Center for Teaching Excellence partners with the Office of Graduate Student Assistantships and Fellowships (OGSAF) to provide support for graduate student assistants in instruction-related roles through the UNIV 0250 (Foundational Pedagogy for Graduate Assistants) and UNIV 0251 (Advanced Pedagogy for Graduate Student Lecturers) courses: 

• Contact OGSAF if you have questions about employment opportunities, hiring paperwork, your specific GA appointment, or your stipend. OGSAF’s website explains GW's various instruction-related assistantship roles: Graduate Instructional Assistant (GIA), Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA), and Graduate Student Lecturer (GSL).
