    Writing a Philosophy of Teaching Statement

    Categories: General

    Today I came across a website devoted to the topic of Writing a Philosophy of Teaching Statement. It is a creation of the Faculty and TA Development Program at the Ohio State University and is embedded in a broader set of materials about creating and maintaining a teaching portfolio. The site contains links to a variety of teaching philosophy statements and to a guide for preparing a teaching philosophy statement that suggests several alternative ways of approaching the task.

The list I was thinking of is on page 50 of an article by Maryellen Weimer, and you can reach it by clicking on the title in the reference below. The article is dated so if you find that a particular journal listed is no longer published, please let me know. I would also appreciate hearing of any other relevant journals with which you may be familiar.
