The Graduate Division's GSI Teaching and Resource Center sponsors a campus-wide teaching conference each semester to prepare new GSIs for teaching. All GSIs teaching for the first time at Berkeley are required to attend the workshop.
The fall conference takes place on the Thursday and Friday before classes start. The first workshop (Thursday) is dedicated to new international GSIs and addresses teaching in the U.S. classroom. The second day (Friday) consists of intensive teaching preparation for all new GSIs, international and domestic.
