Developing a Teaching Portfolio
This seminar focuses on the why and how-to prepare a teaching portfolio for the purposes of improving and assessing one's teaching. The seminar assists faculty members in developing their own teaching portfolios and proposes a framework for assessing and documenting their scholarship of teaching.
Dear Colleagues,
"Excellence in teaching has become a stock phrase in most faculty job
descriptions; yet how does one demonstrate this to current colleagues and/or
future employers? One answer is a Teaching Portfolio, which is a description
of an instructor's major strengths and teaching achievements. It describes
documents and materials, which collectively suggest the scope and quality of
an instructor's teaching proficiency" (Rodriguez-Farrar, Brown University
Harriet
W. Sheridan Center for Teaching & Learning).
Developing a teaching portfolio has the potential to help faculty members
reach excellence in teaching. It provides opportunities for documenting
one's work and reflecting on one's strengths and weaknesses. With this in
mind, a seminar on developing teaching portfolios is scheduled for Friday,
February 25, 2005 in Auditorium B1, College Hall.
Full-time junior and senior faculty members are encouraged to participate in
this Seminar. The number of the Seminar group will be restricted to twenty
members from all Faculties and Schools.
