Don't Panic!

If you're new to teaching, TEP can support you every step of the way. We can help you evaluate your role, design course objectives, plan first day activities and final assessments. We offer individual consultations with our experienced faculty consultants, and a series of basic skills trainings for new teachers both in person and online. And now we've compiled information and resources available online- any time you need them- to help you get your teaching off the ground. We've organized the site by questions you might already be asking. Each question links to our recommendations for the topic and further resources, handpicked by our staff to introduce you to our favorite teaching strategies.
