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.

How to write this up
- Please provide an example and its 'fix'. If you want to add an explanation or an easy way to test for this error, that would be helpful.
- If you've used content from an online source, please provide the link.
- Don't worry about the format. I will organize all contributions into a Google Slides presentation and will send out the link after the week concludes.
If you have questions instead of answers ...
- this would be a great place to ask them. Include an example with a brief explanation of what confuses you.
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP.
