WID GA Workshops & Practicum
WID GA Workshop Policy
New WID GAs will be compensated for participating in the two-day mandatory WID Training either in August or January.
All current WID GAs each term (new and returning) are eligible attend ongoing pedagogy workshops each term. Workshop attendance will be documented based on a WID GA's full participation in live sessions and/or the completion of any assigned writing responses (due by the posted deadlines). Sessions cannot be made up.
WID Practicum Guidelines
In a bid to reward and recognize WID GAs for their training and teaching time and to provide them with an opportunity for productive reflection as they seek employment, we launched the WID Practicum, which consists of the following over the course of their time at GW:
- Open to all WID GAs at GW
- Two-day orientation/training for first-time WID GAs
- Two-part syllabus/assignment workshop
- 8 additional WID-designated workshops
- Serve as WID GA four terms or more
- Reflective letter to WID Directors (drafts language for a teaching statement)
- CV with WID experience included
After submitting a portfolio documenting the above, we provide candidates with a letter of recommendation they may include in their teaching portfolio.
