Additionally, theresponsibilities of the faculty mentor are examined in depth for their impact on the instructor andthe instructor’s teaching team. We examine communication between the graduate instructor andthe team of assistants to monitor its growth over the course of a semester. Finally, severalgraduate student instructors participating in this program were asked to comment on theirindividual growth from working as a teaching assistant to becoming a course

Part of this process is utilizingtransformative leadership pedagogy to elevate, recognize and integrate the voices as well asviews of students who have been traditionally silenced.

The two focus group participants were asked very general questions such as“What makes good teaching?” and “How does a good teacher promote learning in a diverseclassroom?”. Based on this focus group, we did not identify any major discrepancies betweenhow the students conceptualized teaching and the language used on our survey. However, wewere able to identify some topics which were important to the two participants which were notoriginally included in the draft survey questions, such as the nuances of the complex relationshipsand power dynamics between GSIs, students, and professors.After incorporating
