Crafting a teaching philosophy statement
Presenter: Tina Huey, CETL
Thursday, September 12 11:00-12:15
At this session, participants will discuss the concept of the teaching philosophy—its attributes, value, and uses—as they begin to envision writing a teaching philosophy of their own. We will do some writing and think-pair-share discussions. To prepare for this session, participants are encouraged to reflect on their own teaching by trying one of these brainstorming exercises (optional):
• Draft a letter to someone outside academia on the joys and challenges of teaching
• List the qualities of an effective teacher
• Free write about a memorable experience in the classroom or in the field
• Outline a dream course
