Preparing to teach as a Teaching Assistant for the first time, or in a new place can be overwhelming. Being fully supported with directions and resources focused on teaching preparation as well as financial support makes a difference. The record of completion certificate offers resources, activities, tips, and possibly compensation to help you prepare for your role.
The CUPE 3903 Unit 1 (union for TAs) Collective Agreement indicates on page 70 how you can be paid 5 hours at the marker/grader rate for completing the record of completion certificate.
