Thursday, Feb 28 10:00-11:15 Crafting a Teaching Philosophy Statement
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
