Please join the staff of the Teaching and Learning Center for upcoming workshops for Graduate Center students who are planning or preparing statements of teaching philosophy for the job market.

On Monday, September 16, from 6:30-8:30pm in Room 9207 at the Graduate Center TLC staff will lead a discussion about what makes a strong statement of teaching philosophy and how to frame what’s distinct about the CUNY experience within the context of this document.

This event will be followed by a workshop on Monday, September 23rd, from 2:00-4:00pm in Room 3317 in which attendees will peer review drafts of each other’s statements.

You can register for either or both events here: http://cuny.is/tlc-registration.

In preparation for these workshops, please see the TLC Guide, “Preparing a Statement of Teaching Philosophy.”
