DCAL Teaching Statement Workshop - 2 parts
Mondays August 15 & 22, noon-1:30pm

What is your teaching philosophy? If you don't know, come to the Teaching Statement Workshop Series. Most academic institutions ask for applicants for an assistant professor position to submit a teaching statement/philosophy. Come find out how to articulate your philosophy in a concise essay. In the first session we will discuss teaching philosophies and what should go in your statement. During the second session we will review each other's statements.

This is a 2-part workshop on on August 15 & 22.
***Please register for both sessions!!!*** Thanks!
