Writing Your Teaching Philosophy for the Academic Job Search The teaching philosophy is an essay that every future faculty member should have. It is commonly requested during the academic job search and is a key document in the dossier for promotion and tenure. It’s also difficult to write, and many graduate students don’t know where to begin. This interactive workshop takes participants step-by-step through the process of drafting a teaching philosophy. Participants will consider questions such as “What is a teaching philosophy?” “Why do I need one?” and “What should I put into my teaching philosophy?” Participants will complete guided writing exercises during the session and will come away with a first draft of this important essay.
