Monday, May 8 1:30 – 2:45 Writing (or revising) a Teaching Philosophy
ROWE 319
These are opportunities for participants to comfortably share teaching concerns and discuss techniques and strategies with colleagues, experts, and CETL staff. All UConn instructors —graduate students, TAs, and APIRs, as well as adjunct, tenure-track and tenured faculty—are encouraged to attend.
At this session, participants will discuss the concept of the teaching philosophy—its attributes, value, and uses—as they begin to envision writing or revising 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
