Develop your own Teaching Philosophy Statement
• "A teaching philosophy statement is a written description of your values, goals, and beliefs regarding both teaching and learning" (Chism, 1998).
Your teaching philosophy shapes the way you introduce, teach, and relate to the curriculum you are teaching. This philosophy is very evident when you begin teaching, and your attitude easily shapes the way that you present content.
• Make your Teaching Statement brief and well written.
• Use a narrative, first-person approach. Make your statement personal.
• Make it specific rather than abstract. Ground your ideas in 1-2 concrete examples, whether experienced or anticipated. This will help the reader to better visualize you in the classroom.
• Be discipline specific.
• Avoid jargon and technical terms. Do not repeat what you have stated elsewhere such as in your CV or cover letters. Your teaching philosophy statement should complement other documents.
• Be sincere and unique.
