On the Unique Benefits and Challenges of Mathematics Graduate Student Instructors Providing Teaching Feedback to Their Peers
Page: 625
n this paper, we compare the types of teaching feedback that graduate student instructors pro- vide their peers in comparison to more senior faculty at a large research-oriented university. Additionally, we consider the challenges and benefits that graduate student instructors report concerning providing teaching feedback to a peer. Our results reveal that graduate student in- structors and faculty contribute distinct perspectives on teacher growth and together can form a strong support system for first-time graduate student instructors. Additionally, while observing a peer does pose real challenges, we found that graduate student instructors develop strategies to overcome these and report more benefits than difficulties.
