Documenting your teaching in a dossier involves harmonizing claims, narrative descriptions of practice, and evidence. This process can be guided by preparing your own teaching philosophy statement, which is a kind of thesis for the argument you wish to make about yourself, as a teacher. Participants in this session can expect to draft or update a teaching philosophy that reflects beliefs, goals, and approaches to undergraduate and/or graduate teaching. They will also make progress on several other components of a teaching dossier, along with a plan to gather evidence for completion and on-going maintenance. Session is idea for tenure track, continuing and limited term, and adjunct faculty.
