Strategy Description

This paper explores the growing role of Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) in adaptive learning classrooms, where technology and instruction work together to support student success. As adaptive educational software becomes more common across many subjects, GTAs help bridge the gap between technology and students’ academic ability. Drawing from our experiences in College Algebra, Precalculus Algebra, Trigonometry, we show how GTAs use learning data to identify common struggles and provide focused, one-on-one support through tutoring and review sessions. These real-time interventions help personalize the learning experience beyond what the software provides.
