MSU Mathematics Center for Instructional Mentoring

The Center for Instructional Mentoring (CIM) in the Department of Mathematics was created to provide teaching mentoring and support for undergraduate learning assistants, graduate teaching assistants, postdocs and new instructors in the department. Teaching continues to assume a larger role in the job application process, so the department has created CIM in order to better serve instructors’ needs. CIM supports instructors in creating engaging and active learning environments for all mathematics classes, with a special focus on gateway courses.

The basic support that will be offered to all ULAs, TAs, postdocs and new instructors includes:

(a) in-depth, non-evaluative teaching feedback

(b) peer teaching observations and mentorship

(c) workshops and collaborative lesson planning opportunities.

We can also help with lesson planning, quiz authoring, grading, issues with students, issues with time management, job applications, letters of recommendation, teaching philosophy statements, and digital identity management, to name a few.
