A survey collecting the anonymous experiences of GTAs is closing soon and needs your help!

The campaign team behind the Fair Pay for GTAs campaign have said:

“We really need to start building evidence to take to the College that their current GTA provision is negatively impacting GTAs and the students they teach. Many first-time GTAs are not given the training they need to have confidence in the classroom – while they may be subject experts, there are other elements to teaching that must themselves be taught. We also know that many GTAs work well beyond their contracted hours to give their students the guidance and feedback they need. While we have plenty of anecdotes, we need to collect everything together formally as evidence.”

“We also want to collect instances of best practice of supporting GTAs around the College. If you’re in a department that is training and supporting GTAs well, please also mention details of this in the survey.”

If you are currently a GTA, or have taught in 2017-2018, the Fair Pay for GTAs campaign are collecting your experiences into an anonymous survey, the results of which will be presented to College. Share you experience here: http://tinyurl.com/kclgtasurvey

If you are a PhD student and you’ve chosen not to teach, for whatever reason, the campaign are collecting your testimonies too: https://tinyurl.com/kclgtasurveyopportunities

If you are not a GTA – we still need your help! Please share the links across your networks!

The testimonies the campaign have collected so far show that the College are letting down PhD students and the students they teach. See the article in Roar for more http://roarnews.co.uk/?p=26714
