Teaching Assistant Course Orientation (TACO)

Just like a taco is composed of many different ingredients, the TACO course will give you the basic ingredients to feel confident and prepared during the early stages of your time as a TA. This is a fully online asynchronous course where you choose the activities you want to complete according to your own schedule to help you prepare for your role as a TA. You will need a Passport York Login to access these modules.
