Teaching Assistant Information

Graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) play an important role in the educational mission of the University of Florida. The UF Academic Technology's Teaching Center equips them with the resources and training they need to make the most of their teaching experience, which is an invaluable part of their own education. To read UF's Teaching Handbook (a manual for GTAs) and learn more about GTA orientation sessions, workshops and support resources, please visit the UF Academic Technology Teaching Center's webpage by clicking on this link:

Florida law requires all non-US students who are going to be graduate teaching assistants — even if admitted as TOEFL-exempt students — to prove adequate command of the English language. Before getting a graduate teaching assistantship, they must submit TSE (Test of Spoken English) or SPEAK (Speaking Proficiency English Assessment Kit) scores that meet the required minimums.
