Teaching Portfolio Series
12:00 noon - 1:30 pm
Nairobi room, Graduate Community Center (Map)

Whether a loose collection of teaching materials, a polished bound volume, or an online document, a teaching portfolio is an important asset in the job search and in the process of your self-development as a teacher. Participants in this workshop series will consider the types of materials to include in a portfolio and a variety of ways to present these materials. Supported by CTL staff members from sciences and engineering, humanities, social sciences, and academic technology, participants will write and get feedback on a teaching statement, as well as other selected components of the portfolio.

A major goal of this series is for participants to produce portfolio materials. Time will be devoted in each session to analysis and writing, and participants should expect to spend some time between sessions working on drafts.

Session 1: Tuesday, April 15, 12:00-1:30 pm - Starting your Teaching Statement
Session 2: Tuesday, April 22, 12:00-1:30 pm - Teaching Statement Feedback and Portfolio Analysis
Session 3: Tuesday, April 29, 12:00-1:30 pm - Speaking about Teaching in Job Interviews: A panel of TAs will discuss their experience on the job market

(Note: Participants must attend ALL sessions.)
Space is limited and pre-registration is required for all sessions.
