Keywords: Teaching statistics ; TA training
Abstract:

As students in statistics, most of us are expected to teach in some fashion, but we all begin with various backgrounds in teaching and in our knowledge of statistics, making a cookie cutter training program difficult. At this roundtable, we will discuss various TA training strategies, what training you received (if any), the pros and cons of your training, and other preparation that would have been beneficial. Come and enjoy lunch with the company of other TAs, find out what others are doing to prepare to teach, and get ideas to improve your own teaching.
