Developing Your Teaching Dossier

About the "Developing Your Teaching Dossier" Series

The "Developing Your Teaching Dossier" series is a four-module series for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows exploring strategies to reflect on their teaching and develop their teaching dossier.

The four 60-minute self-paced asynchronous modules are as follows:

Module 1: Reflecting on Your Teaching Experience: An Introduction to Teaching Dossiers
Module 2: Articulating Your Teaching Values and Practices: Developing Your Statement of Teaching Philosophy
Module 3: Connecting Narratives and Evidence: Developing Components of Your Teaching Dossier
Module 4: Looking Ahead: Telling New Stories About Our Teaching Experiences

There are many resources—reflection prompts, workbooks, and samples—that you can download for your reference and further exploration.
