Graduate Student Instructors make an enormous contribution to the teaching mission of UC Berkeley. That contribution is made possible by GSIs’ high degree of motivation as well as their high standards for themselves and their students. This section of the Teaching Guide suggests concrete ways GSIs can translate their motivation and high standards into increasingly expert teaching practices.

You may also want to consult the Professional Development section of the Teaching Guide, which discusses ways GSIs can consolidate their teaching experience into a first-rate professional profile for the professoriate.
