Welcome

This guide is intended to direct graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) to resources - both library resources and open access - on Instruction in the Social Sciences, and Education at an institution of higher education.

For GTAs who would like an academic career, the perspective of the guide is that of the faculty member who must remain current and contribute in the areas of teaching, scholarship and service. The tabs on Promotion & Tenure and Governance are included in order to provide that additional context.
