14. If you would like to recommend an outstanding instructor for this Program, list his or her
name, subject areas, grades taught, school, and school district. You can also tell the
instructor that he or she can apply by sending ATDP a cover letter, résumé, and a course
proposal (a paragraph-length course description listing course topics, activities, and
prerequisites).
15. Did you have any students in your class this summer whom you would like to have as your
teacher’s assistant next summer? If yes, list names below.
(FYI: many TA positions are volunteer, and thus unpaid. An unpaid TA, though, can often
get credit at his or her home school for volunteer work and can always strengthen his or
her college application by listing the TA work.)
16. How might the Program be changed and improved for next year? How could we better
serve our students?
