ATA New Faculty Mentoring Program

 

Needs to be updated

The New Faculty Concerns Committee is in the process of developing a New Faculty Mentoring Program for teaching. The committee believes that with the increased pressure on new faculty to be productive in both teaching and research, a formal teaching-mentoring program can help new tax faculty better achieve successful careers. Below is a short summary of the program, and a more in-depth explanation of the mentor process and expectations is available online.

Tenured tax faculty that have an expertise in a teaching area will be paired with one or two new faculty (less than three years experience). The tenured faculty member should be available for guidance on understanding and teaching complex issues to undergraduate and graduate students.

Helping new faculty achieve success in teaching is critical to their career. If you have a specific area of tax that you would feel comfortable mentoring in, and you would like to volunteer to become an ATA teaching mentor, please contact Tim Rupert.
