Join the McGraw Center for "flipped" workshops, which include Canvas course components, as well as semester-long offerings. Pedagogy Programs Preparing to Write a Meaningful Statement of Teaching Philosophy Teaching statements have become important in academic job searches as more and more colleges and universities are requesting them from applicants for faculty positions. This workshop will introduce participants to the concept of the teaching statement and present recent research on how search committees interpret them. We will also discuss how writing a statement can serve as a valuable means of enhancing one’s own teaching strategies. This workshop will provide a context for participants to start writing their own statements by drafting key elements of them that draw on their teaching experiences and their goals for their students. Sign up to enroll in the Canvas mini course, "Developing Your Teaching Statement." You can complete the course at your own pace anytime. The earlier you enroll, the more time you will have to complete the Canvas course. It is hard for us to estimate how long the Canvas course will take you since it depends on how much time you invest, but we think you can expect to spend around 45 minutes on it. Designing a Course Are you preparing a new syllabus for a new teaching position or job search? This workshop examines course design and syllabus preparation from the perspective of student learning, using a variety of models from across the disciplines. Workshop activities guide you in defining your goals for your students and then using them to shape all aspects of a well-integrated course, from your class format to student assignments, exams, and the syllabus.
