Welcome to The Ledge

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to the University of West Georgia's English Graduate Teaching Assistant Blog, or "The Ledge," as it shall henceforth be known.

(because the thought of typing "the University of West Georgia's English Graduate Teaching Assistant Blog" every single time I post something makes me want to go ahead and just jump)

And that would be counter-productive, since the purpose of this blog is to keep us, the Graduate Teaching Assistants, from jumping. 

Our goal in this blog is to create a space where we can talk about things like grade norming, Hocs and Locs, responding to students, and facilitating discussions in the classroom. If it is successful, this blog will also become a collection of information, suggestions, advice, etc..., that will help future graduate teaching assistants feel less alone and overwhelmed. 

Think of it as a time capsule for really, really cool people.
