What is a GTA?

Different departments at Georgetown have different names for what is most often called a teaching assistant. While you may be referred to as a TA, teaching fellow, pre-doctoral fellow, graduate assistant or any number of other terms, we have chosen the terms "graduate teaching assistant, "graduate TA," just "GTA" because they describe who you are (a graduate student) and a specific aspect of what you do (learning to teach, which is what we're interested in here).
