Teaching philosophy statement

Teaching portfolio:

You will complete a total of eight teaching portfolio components (submissions) throughout this course, which will culminate in a teaching portfolio to be assembled at the end of the course. To derive the most value from this portfolio, it is important that you base your submissions on the area (field, discipline, or subject matter) in which you currently teach, or would like to teach.

This is the seventh teaching portfolio component of the course. It is based on the content covered throughout the course. Using the teaching narrative that you have created throughout the course, you will need to:

  • Review the peer feedback provided on your initial teaching philosophy drafts, as well as the teaching philosophy examples provided; and
  • Write the third and final draft of your teaching philosophy.

To complete this submission, download the Teaching Portfolio Component document below, answer the questions in the spaces provided, and save your completed submission. Then upload the completed submission to the Online Campus for review.
