Abstract :
Teaching opportunities for graduate assistants (TOGA) was initiated as a pilot program in 2005 by the School of Graduate Studies at Memorial university of Newfoundland becoming a pan-university program in 2007. Professional development for graduate teaching assistants related to teaching and learning is the primary focus of TOGA. TOGA within the faculty of engineering and applied science at Memorial university has continued to evolve since the initial pilot. A description of its evolution and components is provided in this paper.
