  • 5/17 Writing (or Revising) your Teaching Philosophy

    Thursday        May 17            1:00 – 2:15          Writing (or revising) your Teaching Philosophy

    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
