An Introduction to Creating a Teaching Dossier
A teaching dossier is a portfolio designed to demonstrate your teaching and inspire self-reflection. This portfolio allows for responsibilities, approaches, contributions, and evidence to be presented in a professional manner that summarizes the quality of one's academic teaching. This session focuses on the fundamentals of creating an effective teaching dossier that speaks to your beliefs about teaching and learning through a philosophy statement and highlights your teaching-related activities and accomplishments. This workshop will provide you with an introduction to each component of the dossier and provide resources to assist you in the process.
This workshop is especially relevant if you are interested in applying for any academic awards (for example, GATA Awards).
