The curriculum of programs of instruction for international teaching assistants (ITAs) commonly covers three areas: language, culture, and teaching. This paper focuses on teaching. At Columbia University, we have developed a variety of classroom materials to train ITAs in practical, readily transferable teaching skills. Even more important, our courses are designed to help ITAs develop a professional self-image in their field of expertise, while fostering a deeper understanding of the American educational system and their role in it. This paper attempts to place ITA courses within the context of professional education. It then goes on to explore the implications of this perspective for the curriculum of such courses, particularly in the area of teaching. Finally, the paper offers a sample of curriculum materials written from a professional education perspective. These materials are intended to develop teaching or "presentation" skills, as well as professional attitudes and values.
