Career Development: Effective Teaching Statements

An estimated half of U.S. faculty job applications require a statement of teaching philosophy. In this interactive workshop, you will learn the basics of the teaching statement genre, reflect on your own teaching philosophy, and practice evaluating the statements of successful job seekers. No matter how much or how little teaching experience you have, register today and take the guesswork out of the teaching statement.

Workshop Facilitator: Dr. Amanda Modell, PhD, Senior Associate Director, Graduate Teaching Programs, Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL).

Amanda Modell leads programs in graduate student teaching support that serve students across Stanford's campus. They earned a Ph.D. in Cultural Studies from the University of California, Davis, with a Designated Emphasis in Feminist Theory and Research, and you can find their educational development work in New Directions in Teaching and Learning(forthcoming). Contemplative, feminist, and inclusive pedagogies inform their work as an educator and in supporting graduate student instructors, TAs, and CAs at Stanford.  TA Training, TA Orientation, Mentors-in-Teaching Program, Graduate Teaching Consultants
