Why do you teach? How do you teach? How do you measure your effectiveness? Most academic job applications require applicants to address these questions in a Statement of Teaching Philosophy (SoTP). Developing a SoTP can help you clarify your goals as an educator and reflect on how you teach.
When done well, online education can make learning more accessible to non-traditional students, including returning students, students in rural locations, and those with family and work obligations.
The shift to online teaching can necessitate new ways of assessing student learning. In this workshop designed for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars, we will first explore how to interweave formative assessment into online classes.
