Writing Your Teaching Philosophy Statement

Writing Your Teaching Philosophy Statement Online

Who are you as an Educator?

Many academic positions require a teaching philosophy statement as one of the application materials to learn about a candidate’s teaching beliefs, values, and use of evidence-based teaching and assessment practices for effective instruction. In this workshop you will learn how to document your teaching and/or teaching professional development experiences to start crafting your teaching philosophy statement with the help of a rubric. At the end of this session, you will have a working draft of your teaching statement, which will encourage you to continue your efforts toward intentional and effective teaching and instruction. Register here.

* This is part three of our 4-part workshop series. The next part is on Diversity Statement on November 18 from 3:00 – 4:30 pm. 

Presenter(s)/Facilitator(s):

  • Dr. Stefanie Baier  is the Director of Graduate Student and Postdoctoral Instructional Development at the Graduate School at Michigan State University. In her role she is in charge of the curriculum for Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) preparation, manages teaching professional development of graduate students and postdoctoral scholars, and (co-)facilitates workshops on various topics including Teaching Philosophy Statement and DEI Statement workshops.
