Teaching Teams Program

The goal of the Teaching Teams Program (TTP) is to improve classroom experiences and learning at the University of Arizona through the use of a teaching team. A teaching team consists of Instructors, Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTA's) and student peer assistants called preceptors.

The teaching team works together to help students:

• Construct their own knowledge through Active Learning models
• Develop fundamental skills for academic success
• Develop fundamental skills for professional success
• Build confidence working with course material
• Build confidence in networking with fellow students, GTA's and instructors
• Become classroom and campus leaders

The teaching team works together to help instructors:

• Improve learning outcomes
• Create a more integrated classroom experience
• Diversify content delivery through the use of student experience and innovation
• Provide additional class resources for students through the use of selected peer mentors
• Build community
• Give students the skills and resources to be exceptional peer mentors
