SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Teaching teams often struggle with ambiguity around TA duties, grading boundaries, and workload fairness. This Skill provides a structured coordination framework: a 4-agent team handles onboarding, calibration, workload allocation, and cross-TA consistency checks to ensure predictable, fair teaching operations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Boundary-driven onboarding: creates a course-specific TA handbook and first-week orientation plan.
  • Calibration and consistency: runs norming sessions to align rubric interpretations and flag drift.
  • Hours-based workload planning: distributes grading and duties by estimated hours with rotation to develop TAs.
  • Audit-ready decisions: maintains decisions logs and rubric annotations for term inheritance.

Quick Start

Generate the course-specific TA handbook, schedule the first calibration session, and draft the initial workload plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate TA onboarding and grading consistency for a university course with multiple TAs?

TA onboarding and grading consistency are coordinated through a structured framework that generates a course-specific handbook, runs calibration norming sessions, and performs cross-TA grading consistency checks to ensure fair teaching operations.

What is a norming session and how does it align TA grading rubrics?

A norming session aligns TA grading rubric interpretations by having the teaching team calibrate their grading against sample submissions, which flags rubric drift and maintains cross-TA consistency throughout the term.

How do I allocate TA workload fairly across grading and teaching duties?

TA workload is allocated fairly using hours-based planning that distributes grading and teaching duties by estimated hours, incorporating rotation to develop TAs across different course responsibilities.

Can I use this TA coordination framework for a small course with only one or two TAs?

This TA coordination framework is designed for university courses with multiple TAs and professors, handling onboarding, calibration, and cross-TA consistency checks that scale with larger teaching teams.

How do I maintain auditable records of TA grading decisions for future terms?

Auditable TA grading decisions are maintained through decisions logs and rubric annotations that record boundary-table governance and enable term inheritance for future course offerings.

What's the best way to start calibrating a new teaching team at the beginning of a term?

The best way to start calibrating a new teaching team is to generate the course-specific TA handbook, schedule the first calibration session, and draft the initial workload plan during the first week.
