As a Teacher Assistant, you play the pivotal role of creating a safe and creative learning environment, prepared and ready for each session to review common questions provided in the EdX coursework, and to motivate peer-to-peer learning. We seek coaches who can do three things:
1. Create a supportive context through open, passionate interest in student success.
2. Support self-paced learning within each group... where each student experiences deeper learning through group problem solving.
3. Provide the individual- and team-based tools to encourage each student to master their skills.
