SCI to Present Innovative Approaches to TA Programs, CS Education

Computer science (CS) educators are continuously challenged to adapt to the needs of a growing student body. From implementing new techniques in the classroom to building strong teaching assistant (TA) programs, Georgia Tech’s School of Computing Instruction (SCI) is at the forefront of improving CS education at scale.

SCI is presenting a series of innovative approaches and discoveries in CS education at next week’s SIGCSE conference.

An ongoing discussion about TA programs will be a highlight of SIGCSE. This ‘Birds of a Feather’ talk will be held on March 21 and feature SCI Chair Olufisayo Omojokun, Associate Chair Mary Hudachek-Buswell, and Senior Lecturer Melinda McDaniel.

After building a successful undergraduate TA program at Georgia Tech, the SCI team’s goal is to continue improving while helping other institutions establish or advance their programs.
