The process of identifying a personal philosophy of teaching and continuously examining it through teaching practice can foster professional and personal growth. You will find out about benefits and uses of a teaching statement in academia and your teaching. You will also have the opportunity to start developing your own statement. GTA Toolkit is a workshop series designed specifically with graduate instructors in mind. Aimed at newer GTAs who are currently teaching, any graduate students who want to add to their teaching toolkit are welcome! Monthly breakfasts are co-sponsored by OUAB Grad/Prof. Register for the event with the CLSE here and at the event webpage: https://ucat.osu.edu/events/gta-toolkit-april-breakfast-teaching-portfolio/ Following the workshop, email Erica Szeyller.1 to confirm your attendance for the full event time.
