Teaching Assistants (TAs) are important and valued components of The D'Ambrogio Institute teaching team. As a TA, you work closely with class Instructors and Facilitators to portray therapeutic concepts and techniques that are growing ever more critical to the good health of people from all walks of life. Being a Teaching Assistant is also an important part of learning to be a better therapist.

To help make each workshop successful and enjoyable for all involved, the following TA guidelines have been developed based on evaluations received over the years from participants, instructors and facilitators. The objective is always to create a safe, supportive environment for each student's growth and education. Respecting and supporting the students’ learning experience, other teaching assistants and all seminar staff while maintaining clear and professional boundaries is paramount. Remember, we are working as a team. The better the assistants and instructor work as a unit, the better the class will run.
Evaluation scores are averaged. To progress as an assistant, you need an average score of 4.0 or better from the instructor, participant and facilitator evaluations. To become a certified teaching assistant, you will need average scores of 4.5 or better from the participant evaluations and 4.0 or better from the instructor, TA and facilitator evaluations from each TA assignment. TA certification status will be reviewed annually.
It is crucial that the information conveyed by Instructors and TAs be timely and consistent. To ensure this level of quality information, you must TA at least once every 3 years. If there is a lapse of three or more years, you may be required to review or attend another course before assisting again.
TA certification status is reviewed annually. You must assist at least once each year with satisfactory scores to maintain certification.
TA assignments are given primarily on a first come, first served basis.
