    Crafting a teaching Philosophy statement
    Thursday, January 9    11:00-12:15
    ROWE 319
    Presenter: Tina Huey, CETL 

    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. 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
