TA Orientation Information
The Center for Teaching and Learning hosts the graduate TA Orientation each fall in the week before classes start. When it’s finalized, the date for the 2026 program will be posted here.
The 2025 general sessions were about how learning works and who Boise State students are. Breakout sessions spanned a range of different topics. Materials from all these sessions are included below. Graduate students may also find the resources on the Support for TAs page to be helpful.
