The Faculty Development Office is offering two afternoon workshops and consultations for anyone interested in creating or updating a teaching dossier: for promotion, tenure, or teaching awards. The workshops will be facilitated by Shannon Murray, and participants will have the opportunity for individual consultations in the weeks after the workshops. The two sessions are:

• Introducing the Teaching Dossier (2:30-4:00, February 2 – location TBA)

After a brief introduction to the history and purpose of a teaching dossier, a panel of colleagues experienced in working with teaching dossiers will share their advice about what to do and what to avoid. The rest of the session will look at the requirements and the options for documenting your teaching practice.

• Starting a Statement of Teaching Philosophy (2:30-4:00, February 9 – location TBA)

A statement of teaching philosophy is an essential opening for most teaching dossiers: and it signals the central beliefs and practices that the rest of the dossier will demonstrate. This workshop will take participants through a variety of strategies for crafting an effective statement, looking at examples from across disciplines. Participants will leave with a sound basic structure for their STPs.

You may attend either or both, but please register with Gerald Wandio (fdo@upei.ca) by January 26.
