Foundations – Teaching Philosophy Statements (RTCR)

This workshop counts towards the University Teaching Foundations program under the category of Reflective Teaching and Career Readiness (RTCR). 

In this workshop, we’ll walk through the components of a successful teaching philosophy statement and use practical activities to get you brainstorming ideas for communicating your own teaching philosophy to hiring committees. We will also start the actual drafting for your own statement of teaching philosophy.
