Writing a teaching philosophy is one of the most rewarding and, unfortunately, often one of the hardest tasks to complete. How many times have we sat down to pen an artful statement describing our roles as teachers only to end up slinking away from the computer, despairing over the difficulty of putting down often nebulous thoughts about an enterprise that often is hard to describe? How can we begin to create that ultimately meaningful description of why we do what we do, how we do it, and how our approach reflects some deeper (dare we say, “unique?”) thinking about teaching? This workshop uses writing exercises to help get you thinking and talking (AND putting pen to paper) about the seminal points you need to begin to address in your teaching philosophies. This workshop will give you a solid foundation from which you can start to write what will be one of the most important records you create of your teaching life.
