Here are some of the efforts to help graduate assistants become more effective teachers on the college level.
Boot camp: At Clarkson University, all incoming teaching assistants in the arts-and-sciences college are now required to go through a full-time, five-week teaching program before their doctoral programs begin.
Co-teaching programs: At Stanford University, some doctoral students in the humanities are paired up with their research advisers to co-teach a course. The program allows graduate students to see how a course is put together and to observe their adviser in an undergraduate teaching setting.
