The project beganwith use of the VaNTH Observation System, a direct observation instrument which providesfeedback about the extent to which an instructor’s interactions with students fit within thedimensions of the “How People Learn” framework, a model of effective teaching and learning aspresented in the National Research Council monograph, How People Learn: Brain, Mind,Experience, and School. Preliminary findings revealed challenges to the use of this instrument ina first-year engineering laboratory course taught by graduate teaching assistants.

These resultscan help inform faculty as they seek to support GTAs in the GTAs‟ teaching responsibilities.IntroductionFor many years, graduate students have served as laboratory assistants and graders forundergraduate engineering courses. Due to recent efforts to increase hands-on activities inengineering education, many institutions are now also employing graduate teaching assistants(GTAs) as course instructors and lecturers 1-3.

It is common for writing instructionalsupport to be offered through university level writing programs, campus level workshops, andwriting centers. Faculty development in writing instruction and guidance to help faculty bettermentor their students in the writing process is also common. These university level programs,often referred to as writing across the curriculum (WAC), have shown considerable growth in thelast 20 years. Results from a university survey of over 1000 institutions in 1987 showed that 38%of the respondents had WAC programs. By 2010 respondents to a similar survey showed that thelevel had risen to over 50%16. Because this
