Developing a Teaching Philosophy

About this event

Have you started writing your teaching philosophy? Do you find yourself avoiding developing one? Are you looking to update or expand on one you’ve already created? Academic employment and appointments are often tied to teaching philosophies, and at times they can feel daunting and urgent. This one-hour, hands-on workshop can help you move forward with a personalized and authentic philosophy regardless of where you are at in the process. No prior experience is necessary.

Facilitated by:

• Jenny Ge, Educational Developer, CELT

Excellence in Teaching Program (ETP) Workshop Series

The Excellence in Teaching Program (ETP), is designed to provide faculty (TFA, LTF) and contract academics (CUPE 1 and 2) with opportunities to enhance the impact of their teaching, and participate in a community of educators committed to excellence and equity in teaching and learning.

Faculty and contract academics at different career stages and in different disciplines have unique priorities, needs, and interests for teaching development. The ETP provides flexible pathways for participation so that faculty and contract lecturers can focus on achieving specific goals in their teaching practice, and can demonstrate the impact of their teaching on student learning and success.
