These values drive the Graduate Teaching Consultants’ work:

• Learner-centered approaches: We demonstrate a commitment to all students by promoting and modeling pedagogical practices that prioritize student learning. 

• Evidence-based practices: We support the integration of teaching and learning practices backed by research, inquiry, and instructor experience. 

• Access and equity: We acknowledge that our backgrounds, circumstances, and identities influence our experiences in learning environments. We strive for equitable outcomes for all students at Stanford by modeling and spreading inclusive teaching practices and by promoting fair access to resources. 

• Customization: We tailor our services for particular graduate students, departments, schools, and campus groups because their needs drive our offerings. We meet graduate student educators where they are.

• Growth-mindset: Instructors' and students' abilities are malleable and can be developed, given the right resources and efforts toward success.  

• Empathy and compassion: Our services are nonjudgmental, collaborative, and goal-oriented. We work alongside graduate student educators to enhance teaching and learning outcomes.
