Teaching + Learning Lab

Craft Your Teaching Philosophy Statement (Part 1)
2020-10-07 15:00 - 16:30 (America/New_York) | Virtual
The teaching philosophy statement is a required part of most academic job applications and is often required in the faculty tenure and promotion process.
By articulating your motivation for and perspective on teaching, you can surface the underlying assumptions you have about teaching and learning—a critical step in developing your teaching skills. This workshop seeks to demystify this process by providing strategies and structured activities that you can use to craft your teaching philosophy statement.
This workshop is open to MIT students and postdocs only. In part 2 of this workshop, you will have an opportunity to review your TPS with your peers.
Facilitator: Ben Hansberry

This event has passed. See our recap blog post here.

In this virtual workshop, Jason McKnight (Assistant Director of MindHandHeart) and Kate Doria (Assistant Director of Institutional Research) introduced MIT’s Pulse Survey Project and describe 3 approaches for exploring the data. Participants were given the general background about the project before diving deeper into some of the findings and outcomes.

This event marked the beginning of the AY20-21 Data Talks workshop series, organized by TLL’s Melissa Barnett and Ryan MacDowell in collaboration with offices across MIT.
