Sometimes one of the best ways to understand something is to help someone else learn it. TAing gives experienced students and performers a new way to grow while making the classroom better for everyone.

LEARN BY OBSERVING
Teaching Assistants (TA) support the instructor and the students. The exact role can vary by class, but the goal stays simple:
The instructor leads the class. The TA helps make the class better.
There's More Than One Reason to TA
Maybe you want to teach someday.
TAing lets you see how instructors structure classes, communicate ideas and help students grow.
Maybe you just want to keep learning.
That's a great reason too. You don't need teaching aspirations to be a valuable TA.
