Facilitators: Sue Hellman and Sylvia Currie
Course written and designed by Sue Hellman
Writing a teaching philosophy statement is a complex task. The volume of 'how to' articles and samples available online can be overwhelming. In this course, you'll find a shortlist of resources organized into a process designed to move you from the initial step of collecting your thoughts to composing a first draft (at least) and receiving peer feedback. You can follow along sequentially or cherry pick topics and activities that best fit your needs.
THANKS to those of you who have already completed the short survey. If you haven't already done so, it's not too late. No names will be made public.
Share your teaching philosophy statement (TPS)
- Create a new discussion thread using subject: "YourName's TPS".
- Add or link to your WHY statements and TPS draft(s).
- Add details about any specific challenges and questions you have, and what kind of feedback you would like to receive.
Give specific, constructive feedback on other's TPSs
Guiding questions:
- Does the TPS include specific rather than universal claims?
- Does the TPS include statements about how you teach and why?
- Is evidence to support teaching effectiveness included?
