Teaching Mentors
The L&S Teaching Mentors are the heart of our college level TA Trainings. They are exceptionally passionate and knowledgeable teachers with proven track records for teaching excellence who work closely with us to facilitate various trainings and mentor TAs at the New TA Training, Returning TA Training, and throughout the semester.
Program Overview
Each Teaching Mentor is chosen through a competitive selection process for their enthusiasm and capacity to help others develop as effective and equitable teachers. They not only serve as role models, but also as sources of support and knowledge for both new and returning TAs.
If you think you’d be a good fit as a Teaching Mentor, you can find more details on the nomination and selection process for Teaching Mentors below.
