As post-secondary teachers, it is becoming increasingly more important to articulate an individual teaching philosophy and that it be available for review when applying for a college or university faculty positions. This session will give you the opportunity to learn about best practices in creating a teaching philosophy as well as solicit advice from TILT Professional Development staff as you develop your own. Specifically, this session will include:

• An overview of the research on what potential employers are looking for in a Teaching Philosophy
• An overview of the basic structure and central information that should be included
• Ideas for strategies from CSU faculty and what they look for in a Teaching Philosophy

This two-hour session contains two parts: a presentation and workshop. From 11:00-12:00 , we will offer a presentation on writing a teaching philosophy. From 12:00-1:00 , we will facilitate a peer workshop wherein you can write, revise, and solicit feedback on your teaching philosophy. You may attend one or both parts of this session.

Lunch will be provided. This two-hour session counts as two workshops towards the TILT teaching certificate.

This workshop is open to all CSU faculty, staff, and graduate students.
