The TAC and the TA Advisory Committee (TAAdC) are in charge of departmental training and (together with the Graduate Program Coordinator) supervision of TAs in the Mathematics Department. TAs teaching quiz sections are directly supervised by the lecturer for the course, and learning about teaching occurs naturally in the close contact between TAs and their lecturers. The TAC and the Lead TA organize and lead a week of orientation and TA Training (TAT) before the fall quarter begins, and serve as consultants for TAs and faculty working with TAs throughout the year.
