Seminar Description:
A teaching portfolio is a collection of teaching materials, including a teaching philosophy statement, that is helpful for improving teaching skills as well as for getting academic jobs.  Regardless of whether you plan to apply for academic jobs at research institutions, primarily teaching institutions, or any kind of institution in between, having a teaching portfolio as a graduate student or post-doc can make a difference in whether or not you get a request for information or an interview.  This seminar will introduce what a teaching portfolio is, what the different parts are, how to construct one, and how they can be tailored for specific needs or institutions.  Handouts of the presentation and of relevant examples will be available. More information about the Teaching Portfolio can be found at http://www.ctl.uga.edu/teachingassistant/portfolioprogram
