What requirements must be met in order for a foreign student to be a TA?
The student needs to be academically qualified to be admitted to the Graduate Program. They have to be full-time students. They have to have taken the TOEFL exam and meet the general Graduate School requirements. They have to take the TA Evaluation administered by Maryland English Institute and pass it before they can actually go into the classroom. The TA Evaluation administered by MEI includes an oral exam, practice teaching and video teaching so the applicants can see their own performance. MEI invites faculty and US students in to see the teaching.
