Each quarter, the Center for Teaching Development appoints graduate students from a variety of departments on campus as consultants to new teaching assistants (TAs). Duties include providing constructive feedback and mentoring to new TAs on how to improve their teaching and providing follow-up summary notes to be included in a confidential report for the TA. TA consultants (TACs) may also assist the Director of the Center in the development, implementation, and evaluation of training seminars and workshops for TAs and other instructors on campus; however, these assignments are reserved for consultants after they have served as TACs for at least one quarter. Consultants are paid as Associates (in lieu of TA) and are generally appointed on a per client basis (one hour/client by agreement). A training program (approximately 5 hours) is included in your percentage of time.

Most of our consultants use this position to supplement their current TA appointments and generally do not work more than approximately 5% - 8% during a typical quarter.
