Celebrating Our Stellar Clay Cohort TAs: Leaders in Learning

Let’s celebrate 9 outstanding Clay Cohort TAs who truly embodied our Clay Cohort teaching principles during Clay 101 Cohort 26! We officially launched the Clay Cohort TA program this month with the goal of empowering top learners from our community to grow into leaders. Each TA completed training with me and co-owned comms & student experiences in our Cohort Slack and live sessions. Big thanks to these TAs for their dedication and for making our community even stronger! Polly for being so thoughtful in your response and letting students have their aha moment Leila D. for setting the vibes of the cohort and encouraging peer-to-peer discussion Andrew H. for uplifting students and other TAs with your proactiveness; true encouragement of peer-to-peer learning Willy H. for staying close to the students and problem solving from their POV, demonstrating what a model student looks like Paul M. for guiding students to the right resources so that students learn how to unblock themselves Ketan A. for helping students take a step back to get to the answer Marina H. for re-learning alongside the students to identify where students struggle and help them Lindsey F. for making students feel empowered and acknowledged John T. from seeing students eye-to-eye to help them learn beyond the Cohort content
