GATO is <strong><u><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>mandatory</span></u></strong>, and must be completed before a TA may begin instructional duties. There are no make-up sessions allowed for GATO so please help us in making sure that all students who need this training attend. The iGATO portion is no longer required. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>(***Please also be aware that <b><span style='color:red'>TATO</span></b> (<b><span style='color:red'>T</span></b>eaching <b><span style='color:red'>A</span></b>ssistant <b><span style='color:red'>T</span></b>raining <b><span style='color:red'>O</span></b>nline) is another <b><u>mandatory</u></b> training for all GTA’s, and <u>must be completed</u> before they start in their positions. There are many students who will need to complete this requirement. These students will also be sent an email soon reminding them of this. If you can remind your students <i>early</i> that they need to complete this mandatory requirement, it would save us (and you) a lot of time and hassle. You can find information about TATO here: <a href="http://grad.arizona.edu/ta/tato/login">http://grad.arizona.edu/ta/tato/login</a> .
