Beginning to Write a Teaching Statement

Each person's statement or philosophy is unique, and there are various reasons for writing one. Resources are provided in this workshop, along with hands-on activities to help you will begin to collect your thoughts and decide what should go into your particular statement.

After successfully completing this workshop you will be able to:

• list components that can be included in a teaching statement.
• begin writing a teaching statement.

It's not necessary, but if you have an existing statement (even a rough draft) feel free to bring it along.
