Graduate teaching assistants are frequently asked to lead discussion groups in tutorials, review sessions, or problem-based learning classes. In their preparation, what to teach is often emphasized over how to teach. This paper provides a few simple teaching strategies for TAs in the biological sciences, but the ideas are applicable to physical science educators as well.
