University Park

Free workshop to focus on how to write a teaching philosophy statement

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Schreyer Institute for Teaching Excellence will present a free workshop titled “How to Write a Teaching Philosophy Statement” from 10:15 to 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 9, in 7A Sparks Building at University Park.

The workshop will be repeated from noon to 1:15 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 10, in 315 Rider Building, also at University Park.

A teaching philosophy statement is required by many search committees as part of the faculty hiring process. In this hands-on workshop, facilitated by Larkin Hood and Chas Brua, participants will identify their central beliefs about teaching and will consider kinds of evidence they can use to show those beliefs in action.

This workshop satisfies a requirement for the Instructional Foundations Series for new instructors.
