 Teaching Effectiveness Award for Graduate Student Instructors
Each year the Graduate Council's
Advisory Committee for GSI Affairs and the GSI Teaching and Resource
Center sponsor the Teaching Effectiveness Award (TEA). The TEA honors
a small number of outstanding Graduate Student Instructors who have
made a significant contribution to teaching and learning in their
departments through their identification of and response to a problem
that they have faced in their own classes, laboratories, and sections.
Graduate students who
have received the Outstanding GSI Award in either of the two previous
years are invited to submit an essay that describes a problem they
have identified in teaching and learning, the teaching method, strategy,
or idea they implemented to address the problem, and the means by
which they addressed the effectiveness of the solution. If you would like to apply, please go to the 2009 TEA Guidelines page.
In reviewing submitted
essays, the committee considers the nature of the problem identified,
the appropriateness of the teaching solution, and the quality of
evidence the GSI has gathered to determine the effectiveness of
the solution.
