Session 3: Documenting and Reflecting on Your Teaching: Preparing a Teaching Portfolio
In this workshop we explored how the various strategies discussed in earlier sessions can be used as a source of reflection about good teaching practice, and can form evidence for a teaching portfolio. Participants developed a statement of teaching philosophy, considered what evidence they might collect to document their teaching achievements, and planned for possible future changes in their teaching approach. Each person left the workshop with an outline of their teaching portfolio.
