Writing Statements of Teaching Philosophy

In this workshop, you will learn about what’s expected in statements of teaching philosophies for academic job applications. We’ll talk about the purpose of the statement (“What should I communicate through this document?”), its formal conventions (“How should I organize it? What examples should I use?”), and how to craft a statement that genuinely captures your approach to teaching and learning. Participants will have a chance to review and discuss sample statements.
