If you are applying for a faculty position, it is increasingly likely that you will be asked to submit a teaching philosophy statement (TPS) during the application process. This workshop will help you write and revise a TPS—a process that will allow you to demonstrate your commitment to teaching as you describe the goals and methods that shape your teaching.

Participants will learn about why academic-search committees request teaching materials such as the TPS, and how search committees use these materials to assess candidates’ qualifications for teaching.
