Writing effectively about your teaching is an
important skill that you will need for the academic
job application process, grant submissions, and your
future academic position. In this workshop, we will
first discuss a range of conceptual and organizational
principles that will help you organize your reflections
and thoughts about teaching. In the second part, we
will analyze concrete examples of teaching
statements and outline an action plan that will help
you assemble the materials needed for your teaching
statement, teaching portfolio, or job interviews.
Space is limited. Register here.
Tuesday, October 6, 3:15–4:45pm. Sweet Hall,
room 029
You know what you are teaching, but what are your
students learning? Beyond the traditional homework,
exam, and end–of–quarter evaluation, there are a
number of simple tools you can use to fine-tune your
teaching and determine what your students are
actually learning. The results will improve the
experience of your students in the classroom as well
as your end-of-quarter evaluations.
Registration required. Register here.

What does the research on early career faculty tell
us? Who survives and who thrives? Centered in the
experiences of Robert Boice's time management
work with new faculty, this session gives you a sense
of what to expect once the interview process is
successfully behind you. Start thinking now about a
quick start later! This session is part of the Future
Faculty Seminar (CTL231) and drop-ins are welcome.
