Teaching Certificate in First-Year Interdisciplinary Instruction

The School of Undergraduate Studies, in collaboration with the Sanger Learning Center and UT Library Instruction Services, has created a support program to help Signature Course TAs develop and document their teaching effectiveness as discussion leaders. The unique challenge of serving as a TA for a Signature Course includes helping first-year students develop college level skills in writing, speaking and discussion.

A certificate has been designed to reward teaching assistants for assuming the additional challenges of teaching in this interdisciplinary context and participating in training. Graduate students who fulfill the requirements will receive a teaching certificate in first-year interdisciplinary instruction from the School of Undergraduate Studies.
