TA Forum found

Posted on 19/12 by Andy Roberts

After I wrote about the potential for a national Teaching Assistants Community recently, Linda took up this advice

the first thing to do would be to check throughly that there isn’t one already established

and found one.

I Googled for TA forums and didn’t turn up much, TES, and a few others. None of them very active except perhaps socially. However looking through the archives of one of them I found a posting about a new TA forum. This looked quite interesting. It has over 200 members (I was number 200) and it seems to be quite active.

So there it is, then. There’s no need for TAs to setup an email list, just join the existing web forum (and get used to the dancing queens and typing pixies) A possible cycle of DAR to come out of it too, since participatory research in the TA forum may be directly relevant to Linda’s Classroom Displays project.
