Training Option
All McMaster TAs are required to complete 5 hours of mandatory training, including 2 hours of training they can choose from a list of electives. One of the elective choices is a variation of the Professor Hippo-on-Campus program, called Mental Health in the Classroom.
In a one-hour module, you will:
- Learn more about mental health and accommodations to help you and your students in your role as a TA
- Recognize and communicate with students in distress
- Be a part of the Professor Hippo-on-Campus community, which consists of staff, faculty, and other TAs
