This is a highly interactive workshop. Writing and discussing with peers is expected of all participants.Participants will leave the workshop with a deeper understanding of the conventions of strong teaching statements and generated content for a teaching statement draft.The workshop is open to graduate students and postdoctoral fellows from all departments and disciplines, at all stages of drafting their teaching statements.Please complete the pre-work assignments prior to the start of the workshop.
