CUT Teaching Dossiers (CTE113)

Location: EV1-221

Description: At this workshop, you will learn what a teaching dossier is and how you can use one. We will analyze two sample dossiers - an activity which you will begin before the workshop - to discover what constitutes an effective dossier. From there, we will turn to the teaching philosophy statement, which is a critical component of the dossier but is also the most difficult to articulate. We will engage in an interactive metaphor exercise to demonstrate one tool that you can use to help create your own philosophy statement. You will receive additional resources at the workshop.To prepare for this workshop, you need to do two tasks:

1. Read the two sample dossiers (found in GS902 course in Waterloo LEARN) so that you can complete the worksheet (also in Waterloo LEARN). Bring your responses and the dossiers to the workshop for a group discussion.
2. Choose a metaphor that describes you as a teacher (for example, gardener, architect, travel guide). Bring this with you to use in a small group exercise.
