Narrative:
Third leg of oe (operations experience). New hire first officer. First experience with boeing. He had difficulties in sim phase. I had been advised this could be a challenging oe. It was that. However; in this instance; my error contributed: I was fully engaged with trying to get my student to properly fly an FMS bridge visual to rwy 28R [and] I failed to set TCAS to TA as recommended. Student was pilot flying. We experienced an RA at around 1;000 feet MSL (due to my TA error); commanding a climb. He failed to respond/respect the TCAS climb guidance (he froze); despite my directives that he do so. I took the aircraft; hand-flying; to respond to RA (shocked that he was not responding to the RA despite my directives that he do so). The RA response took us out of a position to make a safe landing; so I called for a go-around. He failed to properly respond to go-around commands/call-outs. I was solo; attempting to fly; manage mode control panel; respond to tower heading and altitude instructions; and cleaning up the aircraft. At one point in the sequence; at/above 2;500 feet MSL; we entered a shallow descent; I am guessing in the 300-foot range. I immediately corrected the deviation. Shortly after my correction; tower called us regarding the descent. Once stable; there were no further issues.
