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.
There are 2 tasks in this section.
(a) Review one or two of the TPSs that have been shared in the forum.
(b) Ask for a review if you're comfortable with that process. Be sure to enable commenting if you're using a Google Doc.
Source of suggested rubric: from Chris O’Neal, Deborah Meizlish, and Matthew Kaplan. (U. of Michigan, 2007, p.7). This was the outcome of a study of "a survey of 457 search committee chairs in six disciplines."
