UW–Madison employs over 2,300 teaching assistants (TAs) across a wide range of disciplines. This year’s March award ceremony recognized student excellence in four categories:
The Early Excellence in Teaching Award recognizes outstanding performance by TAs with fewer than four semesters of teaching experience.
The Advanced Achievement in Teaching Award recognizes TAs with four or more semester of teaching experience at UW–Madison who are not in the final year of their graduate study.
The Capstone Teaching Award recognizes TAs with an outstanding teaching record over the course of their UW–Madison tenure. This category honors TAs who are dissertators at the end of their graduate program and planning to defend their dissertations by the end of the academic year.
The Excellence in Community-Based Learning Teaching Award recognizes TAs who have demonstrated outstanding instruction using a community-based learning approach.
