What’s Your Teaching Philosophy? CTL Tuesday Teaching Talks are rolling

OSU’s Center for Teaching and Learning has kicked off it’s Fall 2019 Tuesday Teaching Talks with Tech (T4). T4 are teaching workshops that support the development of knowledge and skills in the planning of curriculum; facilitation of instruction; and assessment of learning.

Teaching philosophies provide instructors with a core to guide course design and pedagogical practices. Teaching philosophies reflect personal values and beliefs about teaching, and are self-reflective statements that describes both what you believe and provides concrete examples of what you do in the classroom to support those beliefs. The CTL T4 provided an overview of this important component of being an instructor.

The first T4 was a great kick off for the term! We had a little over 50 participants, including online participation. Participants learned about key components of teaching portfolios and philosophies and received resources and support to begin creating their own drafts/sites. A big topic of conversation that surfaced in both sessions was around the purpose of both (philosophies and portfolios) for the advancement of teaching and learning. We also discussed what OSU is doing to push for the use of these tools.
