Writing an effective teaching statement
A teaching philosophy statement is required by many search committees as part of the faculty hiring process. It is a brief, self-reflective statement of your beliefs about teaching and learning and how you put your beliefs into practice. This hands-on workshop will guide you to identify your central beliefs about teaching and will help you to explain how you put your beliefs into practice. You will have an opportunity to write a clear, concise, and effective teaching philosophy statement.
Presenters: John Oughton, Assistant Director, Teaching and Learning Commons; and
Todd Hamrick, Teaching Associate Professor of Freshman Engineering
Location and time will be announced soon on our website.
