In partnership with the Graduate School, the UA Teaching Academy offers a series of graduate teaching workshops to build foundational instructional skills. Each workshop focuses on one of three core teaching domains – instructional methods, assessment or instructional technology. GTAs can earn digital badges in each of these three domains by attending three workshops and completing a required deliverable.
