A statement of teaching philosophy is a short narrative that explains your teaching strategies and goals in terms of your discipline and in the context of the teaching positions you have held and seek to hold. Teaching statements are an essential element of job applications for academic positions and for promotion and tenure review. This workshop will review formats and best practices for writing a statement of teaching philosophy. You will also begin the writing process and leave with a draft outline of a teaching statement. Graduate students or adjunct instructors who plan to apply for academic positions and newly-hired faculty in particular will benefit from this workshop.
