Academic Job Search Series: Preparing the Teaching Portfolio
Event Description
This workshop will cover the typical components of the teaching portfolio, the evidence of teaching excellence that is often required for academic jobs in the U.S. We will discuss both the “paper” form of the teaching portfolio (documents gathered in a master pdf) and the electronic teaching portfolio (a website that documents teaching experience). We will talk about how to gather the components of the portfolio—teaching statement, sample syllabi, course evaluations—and how to annotate pieces of your portfolio so that the reader gets an overall sense of who you are as a teacher. This workshop will be cross-disciplinary. For more information, contact Suzanne Young at Suzanne.young@yale.edu.
