The GTA Workshop, required by Missouri state law {see Missouri Revised Statutes Chapter 170-170.012}, is designed to provide prospective graduate teaching/instructor assistants with a cultural orientation to help them become a more effective classroom communicator. The workshop will also provide resources to help manage their classroom and to better serve their students.
In special cases, departments may request an exception to the requirements by submitting a waiver form (GTA Workshop Waiver). (Please note that there is not a waiver for the English proficiency requirement, which must be met before a waiver can be approved.)
