Statements for the Academic Job Market

Most academic job applications require a teaching statement (also called a Statement of Teaching Philosophy). In writing these documents, candidates must reflect on their teaching practices and consider how they advance student learning in the classroom.

To support graduate students and postdoctoral scholars who are preparing for the academic job market, the Teaching Assistant Consultants (TAC) have developed self-paced modules which provide an overview of what a teaching statement entails, strategies that candidates can use to write compelling statements, and criteria that can be used to assess these documents.

The link below will allow you to self-enroll in the modules, which are housed in Canvas. If you would like to get feedback on your teaching statement, you can request a consultation with one of the TACs.

Generative AI in Higher Education

Learning Objectives

By the end of this module, participants will be able to:

  • Define Generative AI and identify its benefits and drawbacks when used for teaching and learning
  • Identify best practices for integrating Gen AI tools into teaching in an ethical and critical way
  • Implement Office of Student Support and Judicial Affairs (OSSJA)-informed strategies to address suspected AI misuse in academic settings
  • Reflect on how Gen AI should or shouldn't be used for teaching and learning in their specific teaching context

This module contains two checkpoints that we will use to check for your understanding and verify your participation: the Generative AI quiz at the very beginning and a reflective activity at the end. Be sure to complete both of those as you work your way through the module.

Assessment and Grading (for Graduate Students)

This self-paced workshop outlines current conversations about grading in higher education and offers research-backed strategies for grading equitably and efficiently. Designed by Teaching Assistant Consultants (TACs) for teaching assistants and graduate student instructors, the workshop consists of three modules that each take approximately twenty minutes to complete: Assessing vs. Grading, Making Rubrics Meaningful, and Using Canvas Grading Tools. As you work through the modules, you will encounter reflection prompts and activities that invite you to apply what you learn to your own teaching and grading practice.
 
You can access the Canvas-based workshop through the link below. If you are interested in continuing the conversation about effective grading strategies after completing the modules, consider making a general teaching consultation with a Teaching Assistant Consultant.
