Events

As a requirement for probation confirmation or promotion processes, the Teaching Portfolio provides you with an opportunity to demonstrate your professional growth and excellence in teaching. Reflecting on these aspects in line with efforts to support student success in your course/s is an important process of being a teacher in higher education. Your teaching practice is informed by an understanding of who you are supposed to be as a teacher, what it means to facilitate learning, who are your students, and what it means to learn in your discipline. These conceptions are not static but evolve over time thus it is crucial to continuously reflect and improve on them, and the teaching portfolio provides the space for this.

Developing Your Teaching Portfolio is hands-on, and you may expect the following:

• Engage in activities to help you think and draft your teaching philosophy and demonstrate how your philosophy translates into practice focused on student success.


• Develop awareness of aspects that should be included in your teaching portfolio 


• Identify relevant evidence that you need to collect and include in your portfolio to demonstrate aspects of your teaching practice.

There is, however, an assumption that academics participating in this session have a basic scholarly understanding of curriculum, learning and teaching, and assessment principles in higher education.
